In AD mouse models, altered neurogenesis has been repeatedly reported to be associated with further AD-typical pathological hallmarks such as extracellular plaque deposition, behavioral deficits or neuroinflammation. While a toxic role of A¦Â in neurodegeneration and impaired neuronal progenitor proliferation is likely and well-accepted, recent findings also suggest an important influence of APP-derived proteolitical fragments like the APP intracellular domain (AICD), as well as of APP itself %K Alzheimer %K amyloid precursor protein %K neurogenesis %K proliferation %K transgenic mice %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5856097/
