[Alzheimer's disease: advance in researches on Beta-amyloid protein].
The pathogenesis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have developed into the frontier with the aging of people in the world. Meanwhile, they are the most difficult steps in the research on this degenerative disease of the nervous system. The over-deposition of beta-amyloid protein in nervous system is the most important feature. The formation and influencing factors of beta-amyloid protein are summarized in this paper. Furthermore, the methods and advance in treatment of AD are reviewed especially.
