ABSTRACT
The gut microbiota, the complex community of microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract, has emerged as a key player in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and neuronal loss, associated with the accumulation of amyloid-ß plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuroinflammation in the brain. Increasing evidence suggests that alterations in the composition and function of the gut microbiota, known as dysbiosis, may contribute to the development and progression of AD by modulating neuroinflammation, a chronic and maladaptive immune response in the central nervous system. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the current role of the gut microbiota in regulating neuroinflammation and glial cell function in AD. Its objective is to deepen our understanding of the pathogenesis of AD and to discuss the potential advantages and challenges of using gut microbiota modulation as a novel approach for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of AD.
