The development of amyloid beta protein deposits in the aged brain

Abstract

The deposition of amyloid beta protein (Abeta) in the human brain and the generation of neurofibrillary tangles are the histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Accumulation of Abeta takes place in senile plaques and in cerebrovascular deposits as a result of an imbalance between Abeta production and clearance. This Review describes the different types of Abeta deposits, which can be distinguished by their morphology and by the hierarchical involvement of distinct areas of the brain in Abeta deposition. The role of intracellular Abeta in Abeta deposition and the mechanism of Abeta toxicity are also discussed.

Alzheimer's Disease: APP

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) proteolysis is critical for the development of Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease associated with accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain. Here is the latest research on APP and Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Disease: Amyloid Beta

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain; these plaques are comprised of amyloid beta deposits. Here is the latest research in this field.
