## Abstract The conversion of soluble, nontoxic amyloid β‐protein (Aβ) to aggregated, toxic Aβ rich in β‐sheet structures is considered to be the key step in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, extensive studies have been carried out on the mechanisms involved in Aβ aggregation and t
## Abstract Recently, we have found that alterations in cellular cholesterol metabolism are involved in promotion of tau phosphorylation (Fan et al. [2001] J. Neurochem. 76: 391–400; Sawamura et al. [2001] J. Biol. Chem. 276:10314–10319). In addition, we have shown that amyloid β‐protein (Aβ) promo
The aggregation of amyloid P peptide (AP) into its fibrillar, cross P-pleated configuration is generally viewed as a critical event in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A diverse group of molecules, the AP binding proteins, has been evaluated for their effects on this process. However
