Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyper-phosphorylated tau, and neuritic plaques composed of misfolded amyloid peptide (Abeta(42)). It is generally believed that the hyper-phosphorylated tau and oligomeric Abeta(42) are responsible for the neuronal d...
