Familial Alzheimer’s disease mutations at position 22 of the amyloid β-peptide sequence differentially affect synaptic loss, tau phosphorylation and neuronal cell death in an ex vivo system ...
Familial forms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are caused by mutations in the presenilin genes or in the gene encoding for the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Proteolytic cleavage of APP generates the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ), which aggregates into amyloid plaques, one of the major hallmarks of AD. APP m...
