Familial Alzheimer’s Disease Mutations in PSEN1 Lead to Premature Human Stem Cell Neurogenesis
Summary: Mutations in presenilin 1 (PSEN1) or presenilin 2 (PSEN2), the catalytic subunit of γ-secretase, cause familial Alzheimer’s disease (fAD). We hypothesized that mutations in PSEN1 reduce Notch signaling and alter neurogenesis.

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 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.

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.

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-

A Pathogenic Variant p.Phe177Val in PSEN1 Causes Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease in a Chinese Family
Familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD) present as a positive family history of cognitive decline, with early onset and an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. FAD is mainly caused by the mutations in the genes encoding for amyloid precursor protein (APP),

FHL2 regulates hematopoietic stem cell functions under stress conditions. [PDF]
FHL2, a member of the four and one half LIM domain protein family, is a critical transcriptional modulator. Here, we identify FHL2 as a critical regulator of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that is essential for maintaining HSC self-renewal under ...

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.

Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease by NIRF Spectroscopy and Nuclear Medicine-v.4.0 [PDF]
There is an urgent need for the early detection of diseases such as Alzheimer’s (AD) and Cancers in order to enable their successful treatment. Cancer is the second major cause of death after Heart Disease, and AD is the third major cause of death
