High-level neuronal expression of abeta 1-42 in wild-type human amyloid protein precursor transgenic mice: synaptotoxicity without plaque formation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that Aβ is synaptotoxic even in the absence of plaques and that high levels of Aβ1–42 are insufficient to induce plaque formation in mice expressing wild-type hAPP, supporting the emerging view that plaque-independent Aβ toxicity plays an important role in the development of synaptic deficits in AD and related conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reducing Endogenous Tau Ameliorates Amyloid ß-Induced Deficits in an Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model

TL;DR: Reducing endogenous tau levels prevented behavioral deficits in transgenic mice expressing human amyloid precursor protein, without altering their high Aβ levels, and protected both transgenic and nontransgenic mice against excitotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alzheimer mechanisms and therapeutic strategies.

TL;DR: Investigative and drug development efforts should be diversified to fully address the multifactoriality of Alzheimer's disease.
