Conceptual illustration of Alzheimer's disease in the brain at the cellular level. The enzyme, gamma secretase, snips the amyloid precursor protein to produce beta amyloid ( molecular model at upper right). Oligomers formed of beta amyloid are thought to play a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
