17 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, affecting more than 20 million people world-wide. Only palliative therapies are available today. We identified a novel D-enantiomeric amino acid peptide “D3” with significant Aβ disaggregation and Aβ aggregation inhibiting properties in vitro an in vivo.
