A modified β‐amyloid hypothesis: intraneuronal accumulation of the β‐amyloid peptide–the first step of a fatal cascade

O Wirths, G Multhaup, TA Bayer - Journal of neurochemistry, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Accumulating evidence points to an important role of intraneuronal Aβ as a trigger of the
pathological cascade of events leading to neurodegeneration and eventually to Alzheimer's …

Motor deficits, neuron loss, and reduced anxiety coinciding with axonal degeneration and intraneuronal Aβ aggregation in the 5XFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's …

…, A Trawicka, C Jenneckens, TA Bayer, O Wirths - Neurobiology of …, 2012 - Elsevier
In the present report, we extend previous findings in the 5XFAD mouse model and demonstrate
that these mice develop an age-dependent motor phenotype in addition to working …

Massive CA1/2 neuronal loss with intraneuronal and N-terminal truncated Aβ42 accumulation in a novel Alzheimer transgenic model

…, N Sergeant, JM Itier, V Blanchard, O Wirths… - The American journal of …, 2004 - Elsevier
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a substantial degeneration of pyramidal neurons
and the appearance of neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Here we present a …

Intraneuronal Aβ accumulation precedes plaque formation in β-amyloid precursor protein and presenilin-1 double-transgenic mice

O Wirths, G Multhaup, C Czech, V Blanchard… - Neuroscience …, 2001 - Elsevier
β-Amyloid peptides are key molecules that are involved in the pathology of Alzheimer's
disease (AD). The source and place of the neurotoxic action of Aβ, however, is still a matter of …

[HTML][HTML] Myelin dysfunction drives amyloid-β deposition in models of Alzheimer's disease

…, G Saher, HB Werner, A Damkou, S Zampar, O Wirths… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
The incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, increases
rapidly with age, but why age constitutes the main risk factor is still poorly understood. Brain …

Hippocampal neuron loss exceeds amyloid plaque load in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

…, BPF Rutten, A Pielen, S Schäfer, O Wirths… - The American journal of …, 2004 - Elsevier
According to the “amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease,” β-amyloid is the primary driving
force in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Despite the development of many transgenic …

Time sequence of maturation of dystrophic neurites associated with Aβ deposits in APP/PS1 transgenic mice

…, M Planche, T Canton, I Jedidi, M Gohin, O Wirths… - Experimental …, 2003 - Elsevier
Several novel transgenic mouse models expressing different mutant APPs in combination
with mutant PS1 have been developed. These models have been analyzed to investigate the …

[HTML][HTML] Intracellular accumulation of amyloid-Beta-a predictor for synaptic dysfunction and neuron loss in Alzheimer's disease

TA Bayer, O Wirths - Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2010 - frontiersin.org
Despite of long-standing evidence that beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptides have detrimental effects
on synaptic function, the relationship between Aβ, synaptic and neuron loss is largely unclear…

[HTML][HTML] Pyroglutamate amyloid-β (Aβ): a hatchet man in Alzheimer disease

S Jawhar, O Wirths, TA Bayer - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011 - ASBMB
Pyroglutamate-modified amyloid-β (Aβ pE3 ) peptides are gaining considerable attention as
potential key participants in the pathology of Alzheimer disease (AD) due to their …

Key factors in Alzheimer's disease: β‐amyloid precursor protein processing, metabolism and intraneuronal transport

TA Bayer, O Wirths, K Majtényi, T Hartmann… - Brain …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
During the last years it has become evident that the β‐amyloid (Aβ) component of senile
plaques may be the key molecule in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The source and …
