The loss of neurotrophic factors is responsible for key neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer's disease. In this study, Obregon and colleagues treat amyloidogenic cells with the neurotrophin soluble amyloid precursor protein-α and find that it halts amyloidogenesis by interacting with the β-secretase BACE1.
