摘要
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia among older people. It is characterized by the extracellular accumulation of beta-amyloid (A beta) deposits called senile or neuritic plaques. A beta is generated by the proteolytic cleavage of A beta precursor protein (APP) by beta and gamma-secretases localized in the secretory and endocytic compartments. In this issue, Yu et al. (on p. 87) report a novel mechanism for the generation of A beta peptides, which takes place in autophagic vacuoles (AVs) that accumulate in AD brains.
