Journal ArticleDOI

γ-secretase inhibitors: Still in the running as Alzheimer's therapeutics

TL;DR: It is argued that this enigmatic protease, a complex of at least four proteins that is responsible for the cleavage of a series of integral membrane proteins, including the amyloid peptide precursor protein and Notch, still has a lot of potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma biomarkers and genetics in the diagnosis and prediction of Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: Disease prediction modelling by the combination of all biomarkers indicates that the variance attributed to P-tau181 is mostly captured by APOE-ε4, whereas Aβ40, Aβ42, GFAP and NfL biomarkers explain additional variation over and above APOE.
Journal ArticleDOI

No endogenous A beta production in presenilin-deficient fibroblasts.

TL;DR: The affinity of the WO-2 antibody is too low to detect mouse Aβ from cells that overexpress mouse APP in this assay, demonstrating unequivocally that the Aβ detected in the experiments of Armogida et al. cannot be of mouse origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alzheimer's disease: A protective mutation.

TL;DR: A rare gene variant has been found that decreases the peptide deposition seen in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, providing support for the hypothesis that reducing the beta-cleavage of APP may protect against Alzheimer's.
