Journal ArticleDOI

The antibody aducanumab reduces Aβ plaques in Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: In patients with prodromal or mild AD, one year of monthly intravenous infusions of aducanumab reduces brain Aβ in a dose- and time-dependent manner, accompanied by a slowing of clinical decline measured by Clinical Dementia Rating—Sum of Boxes and Mini Mental State Examination scores.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of A-type potassium channels by a family of calcium sensors

TL;DR: Three Kv channel-interacting proteins (KChIPs) that bind to the cytoplasmic amino termini of Kv4 α-subunits are described that may regulate A-type currents, and hence neuronal excitability, in response to changes in intracellular calcium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization of voltage-gated ion channels in mammalian brain

TL;DR: Progress made in recent studies aimed at localizing specific ion channel subunits using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry are reviewed and the implications are discussed in terms of neuronal physiology and neuronal mechanisms underlying the observed patterns of expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fumarates Promote Cytoprotection of Central Nervous System Cells against Oxidative Stress via the Nuclear Factor (Erythroid-Derived 2)-Like 2 Pathway

TL;DR: DMF and MMF are cytoprotective for neurons and astrocytes against oxidative stress-induced cellular injury and loss, potentially via up-regulation of an Nrf2-dependent antioxidant response, and these data suggest DMF andMMF may function through improving mitochondrial function.
Journal ArticleDOI

βSubunits Promote K+ Channel Surface Expression through Effects Early in Biosynthesis

TL;DR: Results indicate that while some cytoplasmic K+ channel beta subunits affect the inactivation kinetics of alpha subunits, a more general, and perhaps more fundamental, role is to mediate the biosynthetic maturation and surface expression of voltage-gated K+Channel complexes.
