Aβ42 oligomers trigger synaptic loss through CAMKK2-AMPK-dependent effectors coordinating mitochondrial fission and mitophagy
2019-05-14
Abstract excerpt
During the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in both mouse models and human patients, soluble forms of Amyloid-β1-42 oligomers (Aβ42o) trigger loss of excitatory synapses (synaptotoxicity) in cortical and hippocampal pyramidal neurons (PNs) prior to the formation of insoluble Aβ plaques. We observed a spatially restricted structural remodeling of mitochondria in the apical tufts of CA1 PNs dendrites in the...
