## Abstract A growing body of evidence obtained using in vitro model systems indicates that the deposition of fibrillar β‐amyloid (Aβ) results in neurite degeneration and cell death in central neurons. Little is known, however, about the molecular mechanisms underlying these neurotoxic effects. We
## Abstract Minocycline, a second‐generation tetracycline compound, has been examined as a neuroprotectant in β‐amyloid (Aβ)‐injected rat hippocampus. At 7 days post‐injection, Aβ~1‐42~ caused a significant loss of granule cell layer neurons (28% reduction) compared to control uninjected hippocampu
