beta-Amyloid peptides destabilize calcium homeostasis and render human cortical neurons vulnerable to excitotoxicity
In Alzheimer's disease (AD), abnormal accumulations of beta-amyloid are present in the brain and degenerating neurons exhibit cytoskeletal aberrations (neurofibrillary tangles)....
Expression and Modulation of an NADPH Oxidase in Mammalian Astrocytes
Amyloid β peptides generate oxidative stress in hippocampal astrocytes through a mechanism sensitive to inhibitors of the NADPH oxidase [diphenylene iodonium (DPI) and apocynin]...
Processing of beta-amyloid precursor protein in microglia and astrocytes favors an internal localization over constitutive secretion
Microglial cells and astrocytes are closely associated with nearly all compact deposits of the amyloid beta-protein found in the senile plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's dis...
Tau is essential to β-amyloid-induced neurotoxicity
Senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, the two hallmark lesions of Alzheimer's disease, are the results of the pathological deposition of proteins normally present througho...
Induction of Tau Pathology by Intracerebral Infusion of Amyloid-β-Containing Brain Extract and by Amyloid-β Deposition in APP × Tau Transgenic Mice
Alzheimer's disease presents morphologically with senile plaques, primarily made of extracellular amyloid-beta (A beta) deposits, and neurofibrillary lesions, which consist of i...
