title="Ultrastructural evidence of amyloid \&#946;-induced autophagy in PC12 cells",
abstract="Herein we demonstrate that PC12 cells overexpress human amyloid \&#946; precursor protein bearing double Swedish mutation (A\&#946;PPsw), showing the phenotype characteristic for Alzheimer\&#8217;s disease (AD). Examination of cells at ultrastructural level revealed the intracellular presence of peptide aggregates. Furthermore, autophagy induction was found to be a hallmark of amyloid \&#946;-induced cytotoxicity. Importantly, autophagic vacuoles were co-localized within amyloid \&#946; (A\&#946;) deposits. This suggests the involvement of autophagy in amyloid \&#946;-elicited cell degeneration.",
