Abstract excerpt
Amyloid beta (Abeta) is a metabolic product of Abeta precursor protein (APP). Deposition of Abeta in the brain and neuronal degeneration are characteristic hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Abeta induces neuronal degeneration, but the mechanism of neurotoxicity remains elusive. Increasing ev...
