Targeting RPSA to modulate endosomal trafficking and amyloidogenesis in genetic Alzheimer's disease.

The "amyloid cascade hypothesis" for Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, highlights the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) as a crucial trigger for the pathology. However, AD is an extremely complex disease influenced by multiple pathophysiological processes, making it impossible to attribute its onset to a single hypothesis. The endocytic pathway, where the amyloidogenic processing of APP occurs, has emerged as a pathogenic "hub" for AD.
