Mir-34a-5p Mediates Cross-Talk between M2 Muscarinic Receptors and Notch-1/EGFR Pathways in U87MG Glioblastoma Cells: Implication in Cell Proliferation [PDF]
, 2018 Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive human brain tumor. The high growth potential and decreased susceptibility to apoptosis of the glioma cells is mainly dependent on genetic amplifications or mutations of oncogenic or pro-apoptotic genes ...

Intracellular pH regulates amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain accumulation
Neurobiology of Disease, 2007 The amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism is central to pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Parenchymal amyloid deposits, a neuropathological hallmark of AD, are composed of amyloid-beta peptides (Abeta).

Inactivation of presenilins causes pre-synaptic impairment prior to post-synaptic dysfunction [PDF]
, 2010 Synaptic dysfunction is widely thought to be a pathogenic precursor to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and the extent of synaptic loss provides the best correlate for the severity of dementia in AD patients.

Gamma-secretase-dependent and -independent effects of presenilin1 on beta-catenin.Tcf-4 transcriptional activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Presenilin1 (PS1) is a component of the gamma-secretase complex mutated in cases of Familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). PS1 is synthesized as a 50 kDa peptide subsequently processed to two 29 and 20 kDa subunits that remain associated.

A γ-secretase inhibitor, but not a γ-secretase modulator, induced defects in BDNF axonal trafficking and signaling: evidence for a role for APP. [PDF]
, 2015 Clues to Alzheimer disease (AD) pathogenesis come from a variety of different sources including studies of clinical and neuropathological features, biomarkers, genomics and animal and cellular models. An important role for amyloid precursor protein (APP)

Amyloid proteotoxicity initiates an inflammatory response blocked by cannabinoids. [PDF]
, 2016 The beta amyloid (Aβ) and other aggregating proteins in the brain increase with age and are frequently found within neurons. The mechanistic relationship between intracellular amyloid, aging and neurodegeneration is not, however, well understood.

Intramembrane Proteolysis by γ-Secretase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008 Gamma-secretase mediates the final proteolytic cleavage, which liberates amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta), the major component of senile plaques in the brains of Alzheimer disease patients. Therefore, gamma-secretase is a prime target for Abeta-lowering therapeutic strategies.

The Genomic Architecture of Hidradenitis Suppurativa—A Systematic Review
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic, suppurative condition of the pilosebaceous unit manifesting as painful nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts mostly in, but not limited to, intertriginous skin.
