Trehalose differentially inhibits aggregation and neurotoxicity of beta-amyloid 40 and 42

A key event in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis is the conversion of the peptide beta-amyloid (Aβ) from its soluble monomeric form into various aggregated morphologies in the brain. Preventing aggregation of Aβ is being actively pursued as a primary therapeutic strategy for treating AD. Tr...
