Accumulation of intraneuronal β-amyloid 42 peptides is associated with early changes in microtubule-associated protein 2 in neurites and synapses.

Pathologic aggregation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide and the axonal microtubule-associated protein tau protein are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Evidence supports that Aβ peptide accumulation precedes microtubule-related pathology, although the link between Aβ and tau remains unclear. We p...
