Pentapeptides derived from Aβ1–42 protect neurons from the modulatory effect of Aβ fibrils—an in vitro and in vivo electrophysiological study
Short fragments and fragment analogues of beta-amyloid 1–42 peptide (Aβ1–42) display a protective effect against Aβ-mediated neurotoxicity. After consideration of our earlier results with in vitro bioassay of synthetic Aβ-recognition peptides and toxic fibrillar amyloids, five pentapeptides were sel...
