We hypothesize that these aggregating proteins also block the transport of normally transported axonal proteins, and thus cause neurodegeneration and neuronal death by
impairing axonal transport.
AGEs
impair this axonal transport and alpha adrenergic blockers (acting on cell «stress receptors») can exert a protection of this phenomenon.Thus, will look on the molecular mechanisms of this process (crosslinking of motor proteins in axonal transport, energy depletion etc.) by analyzing the colocalization of fluorescence staining of (motor --RRB- proteins and tagged AGE - molecules and by methods of molecular biology.
Aβ proteins, which build up to toxic levels in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease,
impair the axonal transport of these cargoes.

it impairs axonal transport of mitochondria.»
