Virus-mediated gene transfer of soluble amyloid precursor protein-alpha via systemic injection in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

4 days 16 hours ago
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, yet effective preventive or therapeutic strategies remain limited. A hallmark of AD pathology is the accumulation of insoluble amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregates, which are targeted by recent antibody-based therapies. Conversely, soluble amyloid precursor protein-alpha (sAPPα), a non-amyloidogenic cleavage product of APP, possesses neuroprotective, neurotrophic, and synaptogenic properties, and the ability to enhance memory.
