    Summary · context
    In neurohybrid cells expressing fusion constructs of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor with AbetaPPCD (EGFR/AbetaPP hybrids), EGF drastically enhanced neuronal cell death in a manner sensitive to acetyl-l-aspartyl-l-glutamyl-l-valyl-l-aspartyl-aldehyde (Ac-DEVD-CHO; DEVD), GSH-ethyl ester (…
