Abstract excerpt
Amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation in the brain plays a central and initiatory role in pathogenesis and/or progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibiting Aβ aggregation is a potential strategy in the prevention of AD. A scavenger peptide, V24P(10-40), designed to decrease Aβ accumulation in the brain, was conjugated to polyethylenimine (PEI) and tested as a preventive/therapeutic strategy for AD in this study. This...
