Journal ArticleDOI

The nuclear RNase III Drosha initiates microRNA processing

TL;DR: The two RNase III proteins, Drosha and Dicer, may collaborate in the stepwise processing of miRNAs, and have key roles in miRNA-mediated gene regulation in processes such as development and differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bifunctional Compounds for Controlling Metal-Mediated Aggregation of the Aβ42 Peptide

TL;DR: The results suggest that the previously employed strategy of inhibiting Aβ aggregation and promoting amyloid fibril dissagregation may not be optimal for the development of potential AD therapeutics, due to formation of neurotoxic soluble Aβ(42) oligomers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-apoE immunotherapy inhibits amyloid accumulation in a transgenic mouse model of Aβ amyloidosis

TL;DR: An anti-ApoE antibody reduces amyloid deposition and enhances the microglial response to Aβ plaques in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of Cu2+ and Zn2+ on the Aβ42 peptide aggregation and cellular toxicity

TL;DR: The data presented herein including cellular toxicity studies strongly suggest that Cu(2+) increases the neurotoxicity of A β42 due to stabilization of soluble Aβ42 oligomers.
