Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have emerged as pivotal regulators in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss. With the capacity to modulate gene expression at various levels, LncRNAs are implicated in multiple pathological mechanisms of AD, including amyloid-beta (Aβ) accumulation, tau protein phosphorylation, neuroinflammation, and neuronal apoptosis. Recent studies have highlighted the potential of LncRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets due to their differential expression patterns in AD patients. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the role of LncRNAs in AD, focusing on their involvement in key molecular pathways and their promise as indicators for early diagnosis and prognosis. We discuss the regulatory networks of LncRNAs in the context of AD, their interaction with miRNAs, and the implications for developing novel therapeutic strategies. Despite the complexity and variability in LncRNA function, the prospect of harnessing these molecules for precision medicine in AD is gaining momentum. The translational potential of LncRNA-based interventions offers a new frontier in the quest for effective treatments and a deeper understanding of the molecular underpinnings of AD.
