随着世界人口的老龄化,阿尔兹海默症已经成为严重威胁老年人健康的主要疾病之一,研究并建立可靠的阿尔兹海默症动物模型对于探明疾病的病因、发病机制及防治药物的开发均具有重要意义。本文就目前使用最为广泛和研究最为深入的转基因小鼠模型的病理、行为学变化特点及其在阿尔兹海默症研究中的应用和发现作一介绍。
As the world population continues to age,Alzheimer's disease has become one of the major diseases that threatens the health of the elderly population. It is very important to establish a reliable animal model of Alzheimer's disease to clarify the disease etiology,pathogenesis and promote drug development. In this article we will review the most widely used and the most in-depth studied transgenic mouse models with their pathological characteristics and behavior changes,and their application in researches of Alzheimer's disease.
