Mechanistic insights into the role of amyloid-β in innate immunity
Abstract Colocalization of microbial pathogens and the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) in the brain of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients suggests that microbial infection may play a role in sporadic AD. Aβ exhibits antimicrobial activity against numerous pathogens, supporting a potential role for Aβ in the i...
