Experimental Alzheimer's disease models

Experimental Alzheimer's disease models are laboratory systems used to study the disease's development and potential treatments. Scientists create these models by inducing Alzheimer's-like features in animals, usually mice, through genetic modification or exposure to specific substances. This allows researchers to observe brain changes, memory loss, and other symptoms similar to human Alzheimer's. These models help scientists understand the disease mechanisms and test new drugs in a controlled environment before considering human trials. While not perfect replicas, they are valuable tools for advancing knowledge and potential therapies for Alzheimer's disease.
