The Large Ectodomain of APP Prevents APP from being Directly Cleaved by γ-Secretase
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the brain. Aβ is produced by sequential β- and γ-secretase cleavages of amyloid precursor protein (APP).

Presenilin-dependent intramembrane cleavage of ephrin-B1
Background Presenilin-dependent γ-secretase cleavage of several transmembrane proteins, including amyloid-β precursor protein and Notch, mediates the intramembrane proteolysis to liberate their intracellular domains that are involved in cellular ...

Existing plaques and neuritic abnormalities in APP:PS1 mice are not affected by administration of the gamma-secretase inhibitor LY-411575 [PDF]
The γ-secretase complex is a major therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Previous studies have shown that treatment of young APP mice with specific inhibitors of γ-secretase prevented formation of new plaques. It has

Phosphate‐ and pH‐dependent self‐assembly of recombinant spider silk proteins
Abstract The process of molecular self‐assembly is an omnipresent mechanism in nature to generate a variety of efficient and functional hierarchical architectures, and inspires tailored material design and development. Thereby, self‐assembly is based on a controlled interplay and association of monomers into highly ordered structures triggered by ...

Elranatamab: Mechanism of Action, Clinical, and Translational Science
ABSTRACT Elranatamab (ELREXFIO) is a humanized bispecific antibody approved for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Elranatamab engages CD3 on T cells and B‐cell maturation antigen (BCMA) on myeloma cells to induce T cell–mediated myeloma cell cytolysis.
