Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a brain disease that progressively destroys memory and thinking skills, eventually affecting the ability to perform simple daily tasks.

It is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60% to 80% of cases. It is characterized by the presence of amyloid plaques (clumps of protein between brain cells) and tau tangles (twisted fibers inside brain cells), which disrupt communication between neurons and lead to cell death.
