Abstract excerpt
Previous studies indicate an important role for the cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. In the present study, we analyzed the involvement of PrP(C) in different pathological mechanisms underlying AD: the processing of the amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) and its interaction with AβPP, tau, and different phosphorylated forms of the tau protein (p-tau). The...
