    Dementia is a frequent complication of Parkinson's disease (PD) and usually occurs late in the protracted course of the illness.

    The abnormal accumulation of beta-amyloid (A beta) in senile plaques appears to be a central pathological process in Alzheimer's disease.

  3. Aggregation of the amyloid precursor protein within degenerating neurons and dystrophic neurites in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neuroscience 1992-06-01 Biomarkers

    Using a monoclonal antibody raised against purified, native, human protease nexin-2/amyloid precursor protein, which recognizes an amino terminal epitope on the amyloid precursor protein and detects all major isoforms of amyloid precursor protein, we examined the localization of the amyloid precursor protein within Alzheimer's and aged control brains.
