Abstract excerpt
Abnormal generation of neurotoxic amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) 42/43 species due to mutations in the catalytic presenilin 1 (PS1) subunit of γ-secretase is the major cause of familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). Deeper mechanistic insight on the generation of Aβ43 is still lacking, and it is unclear whether γ-secretase modulators (GSMs) can reduce the levels of this Aβ species. By comparing several types of...
