Abstract excerpt
In this paper, evidence is provided that p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) exerts an opposite role on the cytotoxic function of beta-amyloid (Abeta) depending on the different state of the peptide, fibrillar or oligomeric soluble form. Previous work in our laboratory has shown that the expression of p75NTR is required for cell death in vitro by Abeta peptides in fibrillar form (G. Perini, V. Della-Bianca, V....
