Parkinson's disease mutations in PINK1 result in decreased Complex I activity and deficient synaptic function

TL;DR: It is shown that PINK1 deficiency or clinical mutations impact on the function of Complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, resulting in mitochondrial depolarization and increased sensitivity to apoptotic stress in mammalian cells and tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss-of-function presenilin mutations in Alzheimer disease. Talking Point on the role of presenilin mutations in Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the implications of this model for the amyloid-cascade hypothesis and for the efficacy of presenilin/γ-secretase as a drug target.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Disintegrin/Metalloproteinase ADAM10 Is Essential for the Establishment of the Brain Cortex

TL;DR: This study reveals that ADAM10 plays a central role in the developing brain by controlling mainly Notch-dependent pathways but likely also by reducing surface shedding of other neuronal membrane proteins including APP.
