Amyloid precursor protein transgenic mouse models and Alzheimer's disease: Understanding the paradigms, limitations, and contributions
26 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Transgenic (Tg) mice that overexpress mutant familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) amyloid precursor protein (APP) genes have contributed to an understanding of dementia pathology, and support the amyloid cascade hypothesis. Although many sophisticated mice APP models exist, none recapitulates AD cellular and behavioral pathology. The morphological resemblance to AD amyloidosis is impressive, but fundamental...
