Clathrin-mediated endocytosis and Alzheimer's disease: an update

Fangbai Wu et al. Ageing Res Rev. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

Thanks to new evidence we are now a step closer to understanding how neurons produce amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta)-the chief culprit of Alzheimer's disease. As importance of clathrin-mediated endocytosis to normal neurons has become clearer, so has its role in pathology of neurological disorders. Here we update recent evidence that endocytosis plays a central role in the production of Abeta in neurons.
