Since the first Kloster Seeon meeting on β-secretases in 2013, a handful of BACE inhibitors have entered clinical trials and researchers have learned more about what these proteases do in development and adulthood. What’s the status of the field in the fall of 2016? Check out our coverage of the 2nd Kloster Seeon meeting. Highlights include conditional BACE1 knockouts, updates on non-APP substrates cleaved by BACE, news about BACE’s role in dystrophic neurites, assays to measure off-target effects and—finally—the arrival of BACE1-selective inhibitors.
