Abstract excerpt
A recent report showed that the accumulation of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) was detected in the brains of one-third of Alzheimer's disease and Down syndrome patients. However, the relationship between amyloid-beta protein (Abeta) and alpha-syn remains unclear. We analyzed the relation between the mutation of presenilin-1 (PS-1) and the pathological features of beta-amyloidosis and alpha-synucleinopathy. We...
