Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multigenic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by distinct neuropathological hallmarks including deposits of the beta-amyloid (A beta) peptide. A beta is a 39- to 43-amino acid peptide derived from the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). While increasing evidence suggests that altered APP processing and A beta metabolism is a common feature of AD, the...
