Presenilin 1 (PS1) is a multifunctional protein, and its mutations are highly related to familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, we examined the effects of PS1 overexpression on neuronal morphology using SH-SY5Y cells.

Mitophagy in skeletal muscle: Impact of ageing, exercise and disuse
Abstract Skeletal muscle plays an important role in whole‐body health, quality of life and regulation of metabolism. The maintenance of a healthy mitochondrial pool is imperative for the preservation of skeletal muscle quality and is mediated through mitochondrial quality control consisting of mitochondrial turnover mediated by a balance between ...

A reporter for amyloid precursor protein γ-secretase activity in Drosophila [PDF]
A key event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the deposition of senile plaques consisting largely of a peptide known as β-amyloid (Aβ) that is derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP).

Analysis of neurodegenerative Mendelian genes in clinically diagnosed Alzheimer disease [PDF]
Alzheimer disease (AD), Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson disease (PD) have a certain degree of clinical, pathological and molecular overlap.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. Previous studies have identified mutations in several genes, such as amyloid precursor protein (APP), presenilin-1 (PSEN1), and presenilin-2 (PSEN2), in patients with early ...

Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Axonal amyloid precursor protein and its fragments undergo somatodendritic endocytosis and processing. [PDF]
Deposition of potentially neurotoxic Aβ fragments derived from amyloid precursor protein (APP) at synapses may be a key contributor to Alzheimer's disease.

A Nine-transmembrane Domain Topology for Presenilin 1 [PDF]
Presenilin (PS) provides the catalytic core of the gamma-secretase complex. Gamma-secretase activity leads to generation of the amyloid beta-peptide, a key event implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. PS has ten hydrophobic regions, which can all theoretically form membrane-spanning domains. Various topology models have been proposed, and

Redox Regulation and Oxidative Stress in Health and Disease: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targeting
Reactive species serve crucial roles which are tightly regulated in both physiological as well as disease states. At physiological levels, these species are integral to redox signaling, while uncontrolled redox promotes disease pathology. This review examines the dysregulation of these processes.

Effect of Non-Coding RNA on Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing of Alzheimer Disease [PDF]
A large amount of hidden biological information is contained in the human genome, which is not expressed or revealed in the form of proteins; the usual end product form of gene expression.
