    Alzheimer's disease is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by amyloid-β accumulation, tau pathology, and chronic neuroinflammation.

  • 2

    Physical exercise has been shown to positively influence several processes related to Alzheimer's disease, including cognition and synaptic plasticity.

    Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as a mechanism for delivering multiple signals and protecting labile cargo, reflecting the state of the releasing cell.

  • 4

    Exercise-induced skeletal muscle-derived EVs can be taken up by microglia, contributing to amyloid plaque clearance and cognitive improvement in Alzheimer's models.

    The review proposes a framework where exercise-conditioned EVs link peripheral adaptations to Alzheimer's pathology, potentially serving as biomarkers and therapeutic platforms.
