Abstract excerpt
Abeta peptides are the major constituents of senile plaques and cerebrovascular deposits in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. We have shown previously that Abeta1-40 and Abeta1-42 peptides are potently anti-angiogenic both in vitro and in vivo. The current study characterizes important sequences within the Abeta peptide that are required to exert its anti-angiogenic activity. We have used human...
