Novel Genetic Tools Reveal Cdk5's Major Role in Golgi Fragmentation in Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: A major role of Cdk5 in Golgi fragmentation upon beta-amyloid and glutamate stimulation in differentiated neuronal cells and primary neurons was revealed and a crucial role ofCdk5 was further confirmed when Cdk4 activation alone resulted in robust Golgi disassembly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel bis(indolyl)hydrazide-hydrazones as potent cytotoxic agents.

TL;DR: A series of bis(indolyl) hydrazide-hydrazones 5a-n were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against selected human cancer cell lines and the compound 5b with N-(p-chlorobenzyl) and bromo substituents was found to be the most potent against multiple cancer cell Lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Conserved NDR Kinase Orb6 Controls Polarized Cell Growth by Spatial Regulation of the Small GTPase Cdc42

TL;DR: It is shown that the fission yeast NDR homolog, Orb6 kinase, maintains polarized cell growth at the cell tips by spatially regulating the localization of Cdc42 GTPase, a key morphology regulator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deregulated Cdk5 triggers aberrant activation of cell cycle kinases and phosphatases inducing neuronal death

TL;DR: Inhibition of Cdk5 confers the highest neuroprotection against A&bgr;1-42 toxicity, whereas inhibition of Cdc25 isoforms was partially neuroprotective, further emphasizing a decisive role of C DK5 deregulation in cell-cycle-driven AD neuronal death.
