title = "Rebalancing metal dyshomeostasis for Alzheimer{\textquoteright}s disease therapy",
abstract = "Alzheimer{\textquoteright}s disease (AD) is a type of neurodegenerative malady that is associated with the accumulation of amyloid plaques. Metal ions are critical for the development and upkeep of brain activity, but metal dyshomeostasis can contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases, including AD. This review highlights the association between metal dyshomeostasis and AD pathology, the feasibility of rebalancing metal homeostasis as a therapeutic strategy for AD, and a survey of current drugs that action via rebalancing metal homeostasis. Finally, we discuss the challenges that should be overcome by researchers in the future to enable the practical use of metal homeostasis rebalancing agents for clinical application.",
