Pathways towards and away from Alzheimer's disease

MP Mattson - Nature, 2004 - nature.com

abilities, and even their personalities may change dramatically. These changes are due to …

APP processing in Alzheimer's disease

Y Zhang, R Thompson, H Zhang, H Xu - Molecular brain, 2011 - Springer

Biology and pathophysiology of the amyloid precursor protein

H Zheng, EH Koo - Molecular neurodegeneration, 2011 - Springer
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) plays a central role in the pathophysiology of
Alzheimer's disease in large part due to the sequential proteolytic cleavages that result in …

H Zheng, EH Koo - Molecular neurodegeneration, 2006 - Springer
The amyloid precursor protein (APP) takes a central position in Alzheimer's disease (AD)
pathogenesis: APP processing generates the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides, which are deposited …
