Robust amyloid clearance in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease provides novel insights into the mechanism of amyloid-β immunotherapy

A Wang, P Das, RC Switzer, TE Golde… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Many new therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease delay the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) in
