Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer disease (AD) is characterized by neurodegeneration marked by loss of synapses and spines associated with hyperphosphorylation of tau protein. Accumulating amyloid β peptide (Aβ) in brain is linked to neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau in AD. Here, we identify β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) that mediates Aβ-induced tau pathology. In the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of 1-year-old...
