Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia worldwide and a growing burden on our aging society. Recent studies support the idea that in AD a deleterious relationship exists between inflammation in the brain and the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ), a peptide with toxic properties. This proposal aims to examine the details of this relationship with a focus on the toxicity and clearance of Aβ when it is modified by hypochlortie, a chemical that is generated during inflammation.

阿尔茨海默病（AD）是全球痴呆症的主要原因，并且是我们老龄化社会日益增长的负担。最近的研究支持这样一种观点，即在AD中，大脑中的炎症与淀粉样蛋白β（Aβ）（一种具有毒性的肽）的积累之间存在有害关系。该提案旨在研究这种关系的细节，重点是Aβ被次氯酸盐（一种在炎症过程中产生的化学物质）修饰时的毒性和清除。
