LIPIDNET

As a part of the German Institute for Dementia Prevention (DIDP), the Saarland University, and the Institute for experimental Neurology we are interested in the molecular biochemical process during aging and dementia, in particular Alzheimer‘s disease... Alzheimer‘s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder; the pathology is characterized by extracellular senile plaques, mainly consisting of beta-amyloid (Abeta), a 40-42 amino acid long peptide. Abeta is generated by sequential proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) involving beta- and gamma-secretase.
