Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive memory loss and a significant decline in mental functions. Past studies have shown that people with AD exhibit a buildup of a protein called amyloid-β (Aβ), forming deposits known as amyloid plaques that disrupt communication between neurons.
