Alzheimer's disease (AD), a principal cause of dementia, has been challenging to model using traditional research methods. However, the emergence of organoid technology presents an unparalleled opportunity to unravel the complex pathogenesis of AD. Organoids, particularly brain organoids derived from stem cells, replicate the three-dimensional architecture and functional dynamics of human brains, offering new avenues for disease modeling, drug discovery, and personalized medicine. This review explores the advancements in organoid technology, highlighting its applications in AD research, including disease modeling, exploring pathophysiological mechanisms, and testing therapeutic interventions. The integration of microfluidic systems and gene-editing tools has enhanced the physiological relevance of organoids, helping bridge the gap between basic research and clinical applications. Despite current limitations, organoid systems are poised to significantly advance our understanding of AD and facilitate the development of more effective treatments.

Various studies have analyzed the algorithms used to define MAPopt in critical care settings, emphasizing physiological targets driven by autoregulation. Although maintaining a MAP of at least 65 mmHg is a common practice, challenges arise due to methodological variability and the absence of a universally applicable value. This review explores the role of MAP in patient outcomes, the potential benefits of a tailored approach, and emerging technologies in managing hemodynamic stability. While current guidelines offer a practical threshold, the ongoing debate and research continue to seek clarity on the optimal MAP for different clinical conditions.
