Amyloid-beta and Alzheimer’s disease: the role of neprilysin-2 in amyloid-beta clearance [PDF]
Accumulation of the amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide is a central factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis as supported by continuing evidence. This review concisely summarizes this evidence supporting a critical role for Aβ in AD before discussing the clearance of this peptide.

Amyloid-beta peptide and tau protein crosstalk in Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that accounts for most of the 50-million dementia cases worldwide in 2018. A large amount of evidence supports the amyloid cascade hypothesis, which states that amyloid-beta accumulation triggers tau ...

Familial Alzheimer’s Disease (FAD) caused by Presenilin-1 (PS1) mutations is characterized by early onset, cognitive impairment, and dementia. Impaired gamma secretase function favors production of longer beta-amyloid species in PS1 FAD.

Amyloid‐Beta Interaction with Mitochondria [PDF]
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of amyloid‐beta(Aβ)‐induced neuronal toxicity in Alzheimer′s disease (AD). The recent emphasis on the intracellular biology of Aβ and its precursor protein (AβPP) has led researchers to consider the possibility that mitochondria‐associated and/or intramitochondrial Aβ may directly cause neurotoxicity.

Lowering beta-amyloid levels rescues learning and memory in a Down syndrome mouse model. [PDF]
beta-amyloid levels are elevated in Down syndrome (DS) patients throughout life and are believed to cause Alzheimer's disease (AD) in adult members of this population.

Beta amyloid deposition and cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease: a study of the PPMI cohort
The accumulation of beta amyloid in the brain has a complex and poorly understood impact on the progression of Parkinson’s disease pathology and much controversy remains regarding its role, specifically in cognitive decline symptoms.
