Significant Upregulation of Alzheimer's β‐Amyloid Levels in a Living System Induced by Extracellular Elastin Polypeptides
2019-10-14
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the primary cause of age‐related dementia. The etiology of AD is complex and has not been completely elucidated. Herein, we report that treatment with elastin‐like polypeptides (ELPs), a component of the brain extracellular matrix (ECM), significantly increased the levels of AD‐related amyloid‐β peptides (Aβ) both in vitro and in vivo. Regarding...
