Journal ArticleDOI
Target deconvolution strategies in drug discovery
TL;DR: Here, the broad panel of experimental strategies that can be applied to target deconvolution is critically reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of Dickkopf-1, a Negative Modulator of the Wnt Pathway, Is Associated with Neuronal Degeneration in Alzheimer's Brain

TL;DR: It is concluded that induction of DKK1 contributes to the pathological cascade triggered by β-amyloid and is critically involved in the process of tau phosphorylation.
Journal ArticleDOI
In silico research in drug discovery.
TL;DR: Advances in chemoinformatics have led to the design of compound libraries in silico that can be screened virtually, and computational methods are being developed to predict the drug-likeness of compounds, so drug discovery is already on the road towards electronic R&D.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategies for delivering therapeutics across the blood–brain barrier
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review recent developments and challenges related to selected blood-brain barrier-crossing strategies with a focus on non-invasive approaches such as receptor-mediated transcytosis and the use of neurotropic viruses, nanoparticles and exosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Wnt pathway, cell-cycle activation and β-amyloid: novel therapeutic strategies in Alzheimer's disease?
Andrea Caricasole,Agata Copani,Alessandra Caruso,Filippo Caraci,Luisa Iacovelli,Maria Angela Sortino,Georg C. Terstappen,Ferdinando Nicoletti +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that drugs that both inhibit the cell cycle and rescue Wnt activity could provide novel AD therapeutics and that betaAP-mediated facilitation of mitogenic Wnt signaling activates unscheduled mitosis in differentiated neurons.
