Doubling Rab5 in Mice Leads to Neurodegeneration—Without Plaques
Overexpressing the endosomal activator in neurons not only caused those organelles to swell, but also bungled synaptic transmission, goaded hyperphosphorylation of tau, and destroyed cholinergic neurons.
Varicose Axons: Traffic Jams Precede AD Pathology in Mice, Men
Early in the course of Alzheimer disease, blockages in axonal traffic lead to sick axons swollen with the jumbled pile-up of traffic components. The blockages precede...
Aβ Star is Born? Memory Loss in APP Mice Blamed on Oligomer
In a clever bit of sleuthing, Karen Ashe and colleagues appear to have solved the case of the mysterious...
Philadelphia: All Is Not Well with the Statin Story
One of the field’s biggest hopes for a quick and easy new AD therapy received a punch in the stomach today...
Statins and AD—What Role Isoprenoids?
There has been considerable excitement generated by findings that statins, which lower plasma cholesterol, may help protect against Alzheimer disease...
Keystone: Death Receptor Ligand—New Role for APP, New Model for AD?
At the Keystone symposium on Wednesday, debate on the last plenary talk continued around the dinner table and well into the poster session...
Genetic Testing a Foggy Crystal Ball at Best?
Sequencing a person’s entire genome will foretell many diseases only marginally better than gazing into a crystal ball...
CTAD: New Data on Sola, Bapi, Spark Theragnostics Debate

Though we've known for some time now that the protein nicastrin is a major player in the γ-secretase complex...
Presenilin—Guilty of Proteolysis by Association?
Biology rarely re-invents the wheel. That is why proponents of the idea that presenilin (PS) and the proteolytic γ-secretases are one and the same will be pleased with a paper in tomorrow's Science by Bruno Martoglio and colleagues...
From Protein Trafficking to Episodic Memory: Tracing BDNF Genotypes
An ambitious attempt to link cognitive tests, functional brain imaging, and cell biological assays implicates a polymorphism in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as the source for highly specific memory deficits...
