A novel presenilin 1 mutation (L174M) in a large Cuban family with early onset Alzheimer disease. [PDF]
We studied a Cuban family with presenile dementia (autosomal dominant) consisting of 281 members within six generations, the proband descended from a Spanish founder. Mean age at onset was 59 years of age.

Alzheimer's presenilin 1 causes chromosome missegregation and aneuploidy [PDF]
Mutations in the presenilin 1 gene cause most early onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). Here, we report that a defect in the cell cycle - improper chromosome segregation - can be caused by abnormal presenilin function and therefore may contribute to AD pathogenesis. Specifically we find that either over-expression or FAD mutation in presenilin 1 (

Abstract INTRODUCTION Accurate clinical diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases remains challenging, particularly when individuals have mixed pathologies. We implemented the generalizable protein‐based neurodegenerative disease artificial intelligence (GPND‐AI) classifier using the NUcleic acid‐Linked Immuno‐Sandwich Assay (NULISA) central nervous ...

Bidirectional regulation of Aβ levels by Presenilin 1 [PDF]
Significance Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting more than 5 million people in the United States. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the accumulation of toxic oligomers and aggregates of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide are the primary causes of neurodegeneration.

rTCT: Rodent Triangle Completion Task to Facilitate Reverse Translational Study of Path Integration
ABSTRACT Path integration is navigation in the absence of environmental landmarks and is a primary cognitive mechanism underlying spatial memory. Path integration performance is primarily assessed in humans using the Triangle Completion Task (TCT). In humans, TCT has shown promise for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Functions of p120ctn isoforms in cell-cell adhesion and intracellular signaling [PDF]
The functions of many organs depend on the generation of an epithelium. The transition from a set of loosely connected nonpolarized cells to organized sheets of closely associated polarized epithelial cells requires the assembly of specialized cell ...

The γ-secretase complex: from structure to function
One of the most critical pathological features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides that form extracellular senile plaques in the brain. Aβ is derived from β-amyloid precursor protein through sequential cleavage by β-

Quality control of protein import into mammalian mitochondria
Abstract Mitochondrial function depends on the continuous import of hundreds of nuclear‐encoded proteins. Targeting and translocation of mitochondrial proteins is a multistep process that is inherently vulnerable to defects in cytosolic quality control systems as well as perturbations in mitochondrial protein import machinery and organelle function ...

Successful object encoding induces increased directed connectivity in presymptomatic early-onset Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Background: Recent studies report increases in neural activity in brain regions critical to episodic memory at preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
