Popis: Amyloidosis mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease are generally established by transgenic approaches leading to an overexpression of mutated human genes that are known to be involved in the generation of amyloid-β in Alzheimer’s families. Although these models made substantial contributions to the current knowledge about the ‘amyloid hypothesis’ of Alzheimer’s disease, the overproduction of amyloid-β peptides mimics only inherited (familiar) Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for
