Synapse Loss and Microglial Activation Precede Tangles in a P301S Tauopathy Mouse Model

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied wild-type and P301S mutant human tau transgenic (Tg) mice and found that tangle formation was preceded by microglial activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic Regulation of Brain Aβ by Neprilysin

TL;DR: Observations suggest that even partial down-regulation of neprilysin activity, which could be caused by aging, can contribute to AD development by promoting Aβ accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the major Abeta1-42-degrading catabolic pathway in brain parenchyma: suppression leads to biochemical and pathological deposition.

TL;DR: This NEP-catalyzed proteolysis limits the rate of Aβ42 catabolism, up-regulation of which could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by preventing Aβ accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single App knock-in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generated knock-in mice that harbor Swedish and Beyreuther/Iberian mutations with and without the Arctic mutation in the APP gene, and the mice showed typical Aβ pathology, neuroinflammation and memory impairment in an age-dependent manner.
