GSK3 signalling in neural development.
Nat Rev Neurosci. 2010 Aug;11(8):539-51. PubMed: 20648061Jürgen Götz on Using intramolecular disulfide bonds in tau protein to deduce structural features of aggregation-resistant conformations.
COMMENT This is an interesting paper. However, 3R-tau, which has only one cysteine, is not mentioned at all, and in AD, both 4R and 3R tau form aggregates. It might be interesting in subsequent studies to include a 3R truncated form similar to the K18 construct.

Paper Alert: γ-Secretase Modulators Trump Inhibitors
RESEARCH NEWS 2012-02-09 Research News A paper in the February 8 Journal of Neuroscience reports that γ-secretase inhibitors do nothing to improve memory in AD mice when given subchronically, and can even worsen cognition in normal mice. By contrast, under the same conditions a γ
Beyond Aβ: Other APP Fragments Affect Neuron Health and Disease
RESEARCH NEWS 2012-02-09 Research News In Alzheimer’s research, Aβ usually hogs the attention from its parent protein, amyloid precursor protein (APP). Yet evidence is accumulating that other APP fragments, particularly those produced by β-secretase (BACE1) cleavage, such as β-CT

COMMUNITY NEWS 2012-02-08 Community News Although some Parkinson’s medications ease symptoms, none stop the disease in its tracks. Researchers hope to get closer to the goal of disease-modifying treatment by studying people who carry PD risk mutations in the LRRK2 gene. By assembl
Not the Usual Suspects: Tracking BACE Inhibition, Axon Role
RESEARCH NEWS 2012-02-08 Research News BACE1 has been a tough nut to crack. This β-secretase enzyme starts the process of cleaving APP into neurotoxic Aβ, making it an attractive target for Alzheimer’s disease therapeutics, and yet companies have struggled for 10 years to develop
