It is currently thought that Alzheimer's disease develops due to aberrant generation of amyloid-beta peptides. However, the mechanisms underlying the aberrant generation of amyloid-beta peptides remain unknown. An emerging concept suggests that impaired axonal transport may play a pivotal role in the aberrant generation of amyloid-beta peptides. Here we review and discuss advances in understanding AD with the primary focus on the possible role of molecular motors and axonal transport in its pathogenesis.
目前认为,阿尔茨海默病是由于β淀粉样肽的异常生成所致。然而,β淀粉样肽异常生成的潜在机制仍不清楚。一个新出现的概念表明,轴突运输受损可能在β淀粉样肽的异常生成中起关键作用。在此,我们回顾并讨论在理解阿尔茨海默病方面取得的进展,主要关注分子马达和轴突运输在其发病机制中的可能作用。
