Amyloid beta acts synergistically as a pro-inflammatory cytokine
2020-09-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide is believed to play a central role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. However, the natural, evolutionarily-selected functions of Aβ are incompletely understood. Here, we report that nanomolar concentrations of Aβ act synergistically with known cytokines to promote pro-inflammatory activation in primary human astrocyte...
