Mechanistic Investigation of the Inhibition of Aβ42 Assembly and Neurotoxicity by Aβ42 C-terminal Fragments

Oligomeric forms of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) are key neurotoxins in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Previously, we found that C-terminal fragments (CTFs) of Aβ42 interfered with assembly of full-length Aβ42 and inhibited Aβ42-induced toxicity. To decipher the mechanism(s) by which CTFs affect Aβ42 assembly...
