Intracellular accumulation of aggregated pyroglutamate amyloid beta: convergence of aging and Aβ pathology at the lysosome

Deposition of aggregated amyloid beta (Aβ) is a major hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)—a common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. Typically, Aβ is generated as a peptide of varying lengths. However, a major fraction of Aβ peptides in the brains of AD patients has undergone posttranslationa...
