Intracellular amyloid-beta in Alzheimer's disease.
LaFerla FM, Green KN, and Oddo S
As noted in the panel discussion (see the video here), there is a substantial amount of evidence in the literature suggesting a role for intracellular Aβ accumulation in the induction of Alzheimer’s disease-related toxicity. This review article from Nature Reviews Neuroscience illustrates some the key studies which support this hypothesis.
