Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: How beta-amyloid (Abeta) and tau exert toxicity in Alzheimer's disease is only partly understood. Major questions include (1) which aggregation state of Abeta confers toxicity, (2) do amyloidogenic proteins have similar mechanisms of toxicity, and (3) does soluble tau interfere with cellular functions? METHODS: To determine Abeta toxicity in P301L mutant tau transgenic mice, mitochondrial function was...
