In vitro model of neurotoxicity of Aβ 1–42 and neuroprotection by a pentapeptide: irreversible events during the first hour
The cell biology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized mainly by the neurodegeneration caused by the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides and by the formation of neurofibrillary tangles. The initial events of neurodegeneration in the brain tissue include synaptic dysfunction and axonopathy. Aβ-induce...
