  1. Acetylcholinesterase promotes beta-amyloid plaques in cerebral cortex

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2003-10-01 Biomarkers

    Studies in vitro have suggested that acetylcholinesterase (AChE) may interact with beta-amyloid to promote deposition of amyloid plaques in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease.

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research 1993-12-01 Biomarkers

    The localization of CD44 was investigated immunohistochemically in postmortem human brain tissue of control subjects and patients with Alzheimer's disease.
