Project Details

Description

A characteristic feature of Alzheimer's pathology is the accumulation of beta-amyloid, a protein fragment that forms amyloid plaques in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. Beta-amyloid is formed from its parent protein, amyloid precursor protein (APP). In recent years, scientists have found evidence that the location of APP within cells affects the formation of beta-amyloid.
