Scientists have discovered yet another function for β-secretase (BACE1), the enzyme that kick-starts amyloidogenic processing of the amyloid-β precursor protein...
Mouse studies point to a new pathway that mediates motor neuron disease caused by mutations in superoxide dismutase 1.
Epilepsy’s ties with Alzheimer’s disease occur earlier than previously thought.
Struggles to develop therapeutic antibodies for prion disease teach scientists how prion protein may kill neurons.
A DNA-based Aβ vaccine appears safe and produces a strong immune response in monkeys, suggesting it could work in people.
Neurons clear misfolded proteins at different speeds. Is this why some brain regions are more vulnerable to neurodegeneration than others?
Knocking down tau expression in adult mice diminishes induced seizures.
Mass spectrometry data show how γ-secretase modulators skew APP processing toward Aβ40 rather than Aβ42, without upsetting cleavage of other substrates.
Tau ligands for PET scans were among the hot topics at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Boston.
Studies reported at AAIC demonstrate that biomarkers help predict who will develop cognitive impairment and dementia.
Motor and cortical neurons are particularly vulnerable to FUSopathy. A new paper suggests they fail because they depend strongly on FUS to regulate transcription.
