Oral Microbiome and Alzheimer’s Disease
Microorganisms, 2023 The accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain is a central pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease. It is believed that amyloid responses may be a result of the host immune response to pathogens in both the central nervous system and peripheral systems. Oral microbial dysbiosis is a chronic condition affecting more than 50% of older adults.
