Biology Open, 2021 The organic anion transporter Adenosine triphosphate binding cassette subfamily C member 1 (ABCC1), also known as MRP1, has been demonstrated in murine models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) to export amyloid beta (Abeta) from the endothelial cells of the ...

Navigating the cholesterol maze: Key insights on use of statins in neurodegenerative disorders
Neuroprotection, EarlyView.The graphical abstract encapsulates the dual neuroprotective mechanisms of statins in neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting both cholesterol‐dependent and cholesterol‐independent pathways. By inhibiting 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG‐CoA) reductase, statins reduce cholesterol synthesis, leading to altered lipid raft structures that ...

Presenilin-1 interacts directly with the β-site amyloid protein precursor cleaving enzyme (BACE1)
Neurobiology of Disease, 2003 A neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease is the presence of amyloid plaques. The major constituent of these plaques, occurring largely in brain areas important for memory and cognition, is the 40–42 amyloid residues (Aβ).

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend A, Sarcopenic obesity is defined as the age‐related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function that often leads to the progression of comorbidities, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Though the exact link between the two diseases is unknown, alterations in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be a contributor.

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 475-512, March 2026.ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 5, March 2026.ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a highly complex and multifactorial disorder in which oxidative stress acts as a key amplifying mechanism in the disease progression. Lipofuscin‐like pigments (LFP), end products of lipid peroxidation, reflect oxidative damage and are capable of crossing the blood–brain barrier into the circulation.

HIV-1 counteracts an innate restriction by amyloid precursor protein resulting in neurodegeneration
Nature Communications, 2017 HIV infection results in elevated beta-amyloid (Aβ) levels in the brain, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that amyloid precursor protein inhibits virion production and that HIV Gag, counteracting this antiviral function ...

Presenilins and γ-Secretase in Membrane Proteostasis
Cells, 2019 The presenilin (PS) proteins exert a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) by mediating the intramembranous cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the generation of amyloid β-protein (Aβ).

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.The newly designed metallo‐corrole (Mor‐Cor)Ag(III) with a morpholino group exhibited promising therapeutic potential for Alzheimer's disease. It significantly reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreases GFAP expression, increases neurite length, and decreases cell death compared to other similar metallo‐corroles. Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD)
