Altered proteolysis of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) may play an important role in Alzheimer disease (AD). To better understand the role of mutant APP in the pathogenesis of the disease, we stably overexpressed the mutant APP717F approximately twofold vs. the endogenous wild-type gene in sever
The environmental agent aluminium has been extensively investigated for a potential role in the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease. Despite many investigations there is at present no definite proof for any involvement. If aluminium is involved it is possible that its action is mediated through interac
The main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a polymerized form of the b-amyloid peptide (Ab) and is considered to play a central role in the pathogenesis of this neurodegenerative disorder. Ab is derived from the proteolytic processing of t
