Amyloid-β peptide triggers Fas-independent apoptosis and differentiation of neural progenitor cells

Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), derived from the amyloid-β precursor protein (APP), plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and induces neuronal apoptosis. Neural progenitor cells persist in the adult mammalian brain and continue to produce new neurons throughout the life. The a...
