摘要
Several recent advances have provided new insights and possibilities in defining therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's disease. Of particular importance is the identification of the beta-secretase enzyme and the demonstration that immunization of a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease with A beta(1-42) peptide can prevent or alleviate neuropathological features of the disease.
