Herpes simplex virus interferes with amyloid precursor protein processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background The early events underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain uncertain, although environmental factors may be involved. Work in this laboratory has shown that the combination of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) in brain and carriage of the

Noninvasive Assessment of β‐Secretase Activity Through Click Chemistry‐Mediated Enrichment of Neuronal Extracellular Vesicles to Detect Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most prevalent type of dementia, is characterized by a biological process that begins with the development of AD neuropathologic change (ADNPC) while individuals remain asymptomatic.

When, where and how? Focus on neuronal calcium dysfunctions in Alzheimer's Disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD), since its characterization as a precise form of dementia with its own pathological hallmarks, has captured scientists\u2019 attention because of its complexity.

Amyloid precursor protein drives down-regulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation independent of amyloid beta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its extracellular domain, soluble APP alpha (sAPPα) play important physiological and neuroprotective roles. However, rare forms of familial Alzheimer’s disease are associated with mutations in APP that increase toxic ...

The amyloid-beta forming tripeptide cleavage mechanism of γ-secretase

open access: yeseLife, 2016
γ-secretase is responsible for the proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein (APP) into short, aggregation-prone amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides, which are centrally implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Inhibition of APP gamma-secretase restores Sonic Hedgehog signaling and neurogenesis in the Ts65Dn mouse model of Down syndrome

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2015
Neurogenesis impairment starting from early developmental stages is a key determinant of intellectual disability in Down syndrome (DS). Previous evidence provided a causal relationship between neurogenesis impairment and malfunctioning of the mitogenic ...

Independent Relationship between Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) Dimerization and γ-Secretase Processivity

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Altered production of β-amyloid (Aβ) from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). APP has a number of homo- and hetero-dimerizing domains, and studies have suggested that dimerization of β-secretase derived APP carboxyl terminal fragment (CTFβ, C99) impairs processive cleavage by γ-secretase increasing ...

Inhibition of delta-secretase improves cognitive functions in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Delta-secretases are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as they cleave both amyloid precursor protein and tau. Here the authors develop a series of orally bioactive small molecule delta-secretase inhibitors and report its therapeutic effects in ...
