Abstract
While APP is largely neuonally expressed, Aβ amyloid is largely produced by microglia as the clearance mechanisms for damaged membranes becomes overwhelmed.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Neurodegeneration, an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, comprehensively covers neurodegeneration research at the molecular and cellular levels.
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and prion diseases, fall under its purview. These disorders, often linked to advanced aging and characterized by varying degrees of dementia, pose a significant public health concern with the growing aging population. Recent strides in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of these neurodegenerative disorders offer valuable insights into their pathogenesis.
