Abstract excerpt
In this article we present evidence supporting the interaction between excitotoxicity, beta APP mismetabolism, metabolic compromise and intracellular calcium destabilization in the process of neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is characterized by the presence of neurof...
