## Abstract The extracellular accumulation of amyloid Ξ² proteins (AΞ²s) in neuritic plaques is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The binding of AΞ²s to extracellular membranes (ECMs) is a critical step in developing AD. AΞ²s bind to many biomolecules, including lipids, proteins, and pr

A number of important neurotransmitter deficiencies have been described in Alzheimer's disease, the commonest cause of dementia in people at all ages. Particularly marked is the depletion of acetylcholine, and a number of treatments have been developed which are aimed at correcting this biochemical
Increased synthesis and release of Sloop protein from activated astrocytes has been implicated in the overgrowth of dystrophic neurites in neuritic plaques in Alzheimer disease (AD). To evaluate the quantitative relationships between tissues levels of Sloop and the numbers of neuritic plaques in AD
