Lithium suppresses Aβ pathology by inhibiting translation in an adult Drosophila model of Alzheimer's disease
30 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
The greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is age, and changes in the ageing nervous system are likely contributors to AD pathology. Amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation, which occurs as a result of the amyloidogenic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP), is thought to initiate the pathogenesis of AD, eventually leading to neuronal cell death. Previously, we developed an adult-onset Drosophila model...
