Expression in Drosophila of Tandem Amyloid β Peptides Provides Insights into Links between Aggregation and Neurotoxicity

The generation and subsequent aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides play a crucial initiating role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD). The two main isoforms of these peptides have 40 (Aβ(40)) or 42 residues (Aβ(42)), the latter having a higher propensity to aggregate in vitro and being t...
