摘要
Deposition of beta-amyloid peptide in the brain is an early event in Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of dementia. Studies of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP), which gives rise to beta-amyloid, are rapidly leading to a better understanding of the biochemical basis of the disease - a prerequisite for rational drug development.
