    Alzheimer's disease (AD) may result from the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides in the brain.

  2. Gene expression and cellular content of cathepsin D in Alzheimer's disease brain: evidence for early up-regulation of the endosomal-lysosomal system

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuron 1995-03-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    In Alzheimer's disease brains, more than 90% of pyramidal neurons in lamina V and 70% in lamina III displayed 2- to 5-fold elevated levels of cathepsin D (Cat D) mRNA by in situ hybridization compared with neurologically normal controls.
