Aβ plaques act as a driver of AD pathology and their accumulation initiates a complex multicellular neurodegenerative process.
“since it is known that the Aβ plaques act as a driver of AD pathology63 and the accumulation Aβ plaques in the brain initiates a complex multicellular neurodegenerative process.”
From Interferon signaling modulates Down syndrome-associated Alzheimer’s disease pathology in a mouse model (2025) · cites this paper as [66]
The aducanumab trial discussion (article pp. 111–112) reports substantial plaque reduction but says the clinical effects were far less certain. It does not establish that Aβ plaques drive Alzheimer’s pathology or that their accumulation initiates a multicellular neurodegenerative process; searches for those causal claims found no supporting passage.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
