Abstract excerpt
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy of the beta-amyloid type (Abeta-CAA) is a risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke and independently is believed to contribute to dementia. Naturally occurring animal models of Abeta-CAA are scarce and not well suited for the laboratory. To this end, a variety of transgenic mouse models have been developed that, similar to cerebral Abeta-amyloidosis in humans, develop either Abeta-CAA only...
