Does Alzheimer disease tilt the scales of amyloid degradation versus accumulation

Much recent Alzheimer disease research has focused on the mechanism by which amyloid precursor protein is processed to form amyloid β-peptide. Now, a new study suggests that improper clearance of amyloid β-peptide may play just as large a part as amyloid β-peptide production in amyloid deposition (143–150).
