Dendritic spines—tiny protrusions that mediate synaptic contacts between neurons—are present in vast numbers in the mammalian brain (up to ten thousand per neuron)...
In Alzheimer's brains there exists a complex, dynamic equilibrium among the various soluble and fibrillar forms of the Aβ protein...
Susan Lindquist and colleagues published two papers in Science last month, which provide the backdrop and introduction to this interview.
In Alzheimer's, as in many other neurodegenerative diseases, neurons often meet their demise after apoptotic, or programmed cell death pathways have been activated...
Researchers from the biotechnology company SUGEN (a subsidiary of Pharmacia Corporation) and the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, report that they have mapped all 518 protein kinases in the human genome...
