On the interaction of β-amyloid peptides and α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in Alzheimer's disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) are yet to be fully elucidated. The so-called "amyloid cascade hypothesis" has long been the prevailing paradigm for causation of disease, and is today being revisited in relation to other pathogenic pathways, such as oxidative stress, neuroinflamm...
