## Abstract Research on the molecular pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has made great strides over the last decade. This progress is the result of protein chemical analysis of two extracellular and intracellular fibrillary lesions in AD brain conducted during the 1980s, which identified β‐a
Three loci that modify β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation and deposition in the brains of a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease have been previously described. One encompasses the Psen2 gene encoding presenilin 2, a component of the γ-secretase activity responsible for generating Aβ by proteolysis. We show
## Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves a significant inflammatory component as evidenced by the presence of elevated levels of a diverse range of proinflammatory molecules in the AD brain. These inflammatory molecules are produced principally by activated microglia, which are
