Novel progranulin variants do not disrupt progranulin secretion and cleavage

TL;DR: Deep sequencing of families exhibiting late-onset dementia revealed several novel variants in progranulin gene (GRN) that behave like PGRN wild-type protein, suggesting that these variants represent rare polymorphisms, however, it remains possible that they affect other aspects of P GRN function or represent risk factors for dementia when combined with other modifying genes.

Astrocyte-secreted glypican-4 drives APOE4-dependent tau hyperphosphorylation

TL;DR: It is reported that the astrocyte-secreted protein glypican-4 (GPC-4), which is identified as a binding partner of APOE4, drives tau hyperphosphorylation and further shows that APoe4-mediated surface trafficking of APoe receptor low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 through GPC- 4 can be a gateway to tau spreading.
