Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by an increased number of senile plaques (SP) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) as compared with that found in non-demented individuals of the same age, and a marked degeneration and loss of synapses. One of the main risk-factors for the disorder is inheritance of the apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) allele. To further study the relation between these pathogenetic substrates for...
