The AβA2V paradigm: From molecular insights to therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer’s disease and primary tauopathies by Luisa Diomede, Andrea Conz, Michele Mosconi, Tatiana Stoilova, Matteo Paloni, Matteo Salvalaglio, Alfredo Cagnotto, Laura Colombo, Marcella Catania, Giuseppe Di Fede, Fabrizio Tagliavini, Mario Salmona

“…Notably, special attention is given to the development of the peptide Aβ1–6A2V(D), which shows significant neuroprotective activity through inhibition of the assembly of amyloid β into amyloid fibrils. The therapeutic potential of this peptide emerges from its ability to reduce amyloid β-induced toxicity, with promising results from studies in human neuroblastoma cells and transgenic animal models.…”
