Abstract excerpt
The beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) is considered responsible for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Despite the magnitude of reports describing a neurotoxic role of extracellular Abeta, the role for intracellular Abeta (iAbeta) has not been elucidated. We previously demonstrated that in rat pheochromocytoma cells expression of moderate levels of Abeta results in the up-regulation of phospho-extracellular...
