Activation of the cell stress kinase PKR in Alzheimer’s disease and human amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice

Accumulation of amyloid β peptides (Aβ) in the brain, which is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), is associated with progressive damage to neuronal processes resulting in extensive neuritic dystrophy.
