Nanotechnology for tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT

Tau protein aggregation is a defining characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD), leading to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles that disrupt neural communication and ultimately result in cognitive decline. Nanotechnology presents novel strategies for both diagnosing and treating Alzheimer's disease. Nanotechnology. It has become a revolutionary tool in the fight against Alzheimer's disease, particularly in addressing the pathological accumulation of tau protein. This review explores the relationship between tau-related neurophysiology and the utilization of nanotechnology for AD treatment, focusing on the application of nanomaterials to regulate tau phosphorylation, hinder tau aggregation and propagation, stabilize microtubules, eliminate pathological tau and emphasize the potential of nanotechnology in developing personalized therapies and monitoring treatment responses in AD patients. This review combines tau-related neurophysiology with nanotechnology to provide new insights for further understanding and treating Alzheimer's disease.
