Kwak et al. 2020

  • Novel 3D-differentiated coculture model to test interaction of fAD AB on naive hNPCs (picture)
  • Showed APP transmembrane domain mutations modulate Aβ42/40 ratios without presenilin 1 mutations
  • Demonstrated AB42/40 ratio drives accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles, not total
