Abstract excerpt
One of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is deposition of extracellular amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide, which is generated from the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Accumulation of Abeta is thought to associate with the progressive neuronal death observed in AD. However, the precise signaling mechanisms underlying the action of Abeta in AD pathophysiology are not completely...
