Summary Recent advances in genetics and brain biochemistry point to the Abeta peptide as the major culprit in causing neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). This title is specifically targeted at summarizing current knowledge of the Abeta peptide and its role in AD. Written by leaders in the industrial and academic world specializing in this rapidly moving area, the book covers fundamental biochemical studies on this peptide, the genetic impact on Abeta expression and processing, and various AD therapeutic strategies that target Abeta. Although specifically focusing on the Abeta peptide and AD
