The role of the Amyloid Precursor Protein mutations and PERK-dependent signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
, 2016 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a highly complex, progressive, age-related neurodegenerative human disease entity. The genetic basis of AD is strictly connected with occurrence of mutations in Amyloid Precursor (APP) gene on chromosome 21.

A role for presenilin in post-stress regulation: effects of presenilin mutations on Ca2+ currents in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2007 It has been shown that presenilin is involved in maintaining Ca(2+) homeostasis in neurons, including regulating (ER) Ca(2+) storage. From studies of primary cultures and cell lines, however, its role in stress-induced responses is still controversial ...

The Nicastrin ectodomain adopts a highly thermostable structure [PDF]
, 2011 Nicastrin is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, which is part of the high molecular weight gamma-secretase complex. gamma-Secretase is one of the key players associated with the generation of Alzheimer's disease pathology, since it liberates the ...

Pharmacological And Genetic Reversal Of Age-Dependent Cognitive Deficits Attributable To Decreased Presenilin Function [PDF]
, 2010 Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) is the leading cause of cognitive loss and neurodegeneration in the developed world. Although its genetic and environmental causes are not generally known, familial forms of the disease (FAD) are attributable to mutations in a

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Neural cell–derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as pivotal mediators in neurodegenerative diseases, exerting both pathogenic and therapeutic functions. This review synthesizes current evidence on how sEVs from distinct neural cell types regulate neurodegeneration, neuroprotection, biomarker discovery, and targeted drug delivery ...

Presenilin-1-Dependent Transcriptome Changes [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2005 Familial forms of Alzheimer's disease (FADs) are caused by the expression of mutant presenilin 1 (PS1) or presenilin 2. Using DNA microarrays, we explored the brain transcription profiles of mice with conditional knock-out ofPS1(cKOPS1) in the forebrain.
