15 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Animal models aim to replicate the symptoms, the lesions or the cause(s) of Alzheimer disease. Numerous mouse transgenic lines have now succeeded in partially reproducing its lesions: the extracellular deposits of Abeta peptide and the intracellular accumulation of tau protein.
