T1R2/T1R3 Identified as the Aβ Receptor: A New Mechanism Linking Aβ42/40 Ratio to Neuronal Hyperexcitability in Alzheimer's Disease

Early neuronal hyperexcitability is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and correlates with cognitive decline. A key diagnostic indicator is the reduction in soluble A{beta}42/40 ratio - from ~10% in cognitively normal individuals to ~5% in AD - which reliably predicts progression to dementia. Although widely used as a biomarker, whether this ratio plays an active signaling role has remained…
