Introduction: The neuronal mechanism driving Alzheimer's disease (AD) is incompletely understood. Methods: Immunohistochemistry, pharmacology, biochemistry, and behavioral testing are employed in two pathological contexts-AD and a transgenic mouse model-to investigate T14, a 14mer peptide, as a key signaling molecule in the neuropathology. Results: T14 increases in AD brains as the disease progresses and is conspicuous in 5XFAD mice, where its immunoreactivity corresponds to that seen in AD: neurons immunoreactive for T14 in proximity to T14-immunoreactive plaques...
