The contribution of activated astrocytes to Aβ production: Implications for Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis
BACKGROUND: β-Amyloid (Aβ) plays a central role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Neurons are major sources of Aβ in the brain. However, astrocytes outnumber neurons by at least five-fold. Thus, even a small level of astrocytic Aβ production could make a significant contribution to Aβ b...
