Abstract excerpt
The cause of neuronal loss in Alzheimer disease is unknown. We investigated the effects on survival of PC12 cells expressing A692G, E693Q, and V717F mutant amyloid precursor proteins (APP). Differentiated cells expressing mutant APPs exhibited somal shrinkage, followed by cell detachment from the...
