Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by amyloid beta-peptide deposition, synapse loss, and neuronal death, which are correlated with cognitive impairments. Mutations in the presenilin-1 gene on chromosome 14 are causally linked to many cases of early-onset inherited Alzheimer's disease. We report that synaptosomes prepared from transgenic mice harboring presenilin-1 mutations exhibit enhanced elevations of...
