Linking Abeta and tau in late-onset Alzheimer's disease: a dual pathway hypothesis.
Neuron - 26 Nov 2008
Small Scott A, Duff Karen
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by abnormal elevation of Abeta peptide and abnormal hyperphosphorylation of the tau protein. The "amyloid hypothesis," which is based on molecular defects observed in autosomal-dominant early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD), suggests a serial model of causality, whereby elevation of Abeta drives other disease features including tau hyperphosphorylation. Here, we review recent...
