Abstract:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia and a public health priority. The causes of AD are not completely understood. Pathogenetic factors including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, reduced energy status, and compromised ion channels contribute to the onset and progression of the disease. Flickering light therapy in experimental and clinical AD has shown promising outcomes. However, the mechanisms behind the effect of flickering light at the molecular and cellular level has … Show more
