Rodent models of neuroinflammation for Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2015
Alzheimer's disease remains incurable, and the failures of current disease-modifying strategies for Alzheimer's disease could be attributed to a lack of in vivo models that recapitulate the underlying etiology of late-onset Alzheimer's disease. The etiology of late-onset Alzheimer's disease is not based on mutations related to amyloid-β (Aβ) or tau ...
