摘要
The extracellular plaques of amyloid-b (Ab) peptide that form in the brains of pateints with Alzheimer's disease are thought to be involved in neurodegeneration but, until now, nobody was sure how Ab interfered with neuronal function. The finding that Ab interacts with the newly discovered endoplasmic-reticulum-associated binding protein (ERAB) in neurons may help to solve this puzzle.
