While amyloid-beta plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles are classical pathological hallmarks, increasing evidence demonstrates that oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation are central drivers of disease progression. Oxidative imbalance leads to lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and DNA damage, contributing to neuronal vulnerability. Mitochondrial dysfunction impairs energy metabolism and enhances reactive oxygen species production, further aggravating cellular injury. Concurrently, chronic microglial activation sustains inflammatory responses and amplifies oxidative damage. These interrelated processes create a self-propagating cycle that accelerates neurodegeneration. Understanding their molecular interactions provides new opportunities for therapeutic intervention. This review synthesizes current findings on oxidative stress, mitochondrial abnormalities, and neuroinflammatory mechanisms in AD and highlights emerging treatment strategies targeting these interconnected pathways.</p></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="author"><kwd>Alzheimer&#x2019;s disease</kwd><kwd> oxidative stress</kwd><kwd> mitochondrial dysfunction</kwd><kwd> neuroinflammation</kwd><kwd> microglial activation</kwd><kwd> reactive oxygen species (ROS)</kwd><kwd> neurodegeneration</kwd><kwd> inflammatory cytokines</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement>The authors did not receive any specific grants from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><sec sec-type="data-availability"><title>Data Availability</title><p>Not applicable.</p></sec><sec sec-type="COI-statement"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>There are no conflicts of interest to report from any of the authors.</p></sec><sec sec-type="author-contributions"><title>Authors&#x2019; Contributions</title><p>The author confirms sole responsibility for the following: study conception and design, data collection, analysis and interpretation of results, and manuscript preparation.</p></sec><sec sec-type="funding-statement"><title>Funding Statement</title><p>The authors did not receive any specific grants from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.</p></sec><sec sec-type="software-information"><title>software-information</title><p>Not applicable.</p></sec><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>I thank the following individuals for their expertise and assistance in all aspects of our study and for their help in writing the manuscript.
