Some people breeze through their 70s with the vitality of someone decades younger, while others visibly decline. Ditto for their organs. Time and genetics explain some of this wear and tear, but does ...
More than 300 mutations in PSEN1 have been catalogued, but none are quite like the one Bart De Strooper and colleagues at the Flanders Institute for Biotechnology in Leuven, Belgium, reported on ...
This knock-in (KI) mouse model was generated by introducing a D427V point mutation into exon 10 of the mouse Gba1 (glucosidase, beta, acid 1) gene, which corresponds to the human D409V mutation (The ...
Low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound is a noninvasive, targeted neuromodulation technology. It uses mid- or low-frequency sound waves delivered from arrays applied to the outside of the head ...

The gene PSEN2 encodes presenilin-2, a subunit of γ-secretase, the aspartyl protease responsible for Aβ generation. Missense mutations in PSEN2 are a rare cause of early onset Alzheimer's disease.
APOE4 was originally studied in the context of blood lipids and cardiovascular disease and first characterized at the protein level as one of three inherited ApoE isoforms with unique ...

Whether a person eats a cookie or devours the whole box could come down to the mood of microglia in their hypothalamus. Blocking activation of the region’s NLRP3 inflammasome could keep excessive ...
Could stem cells step in to replace lost neurons in Parkinson’s disease? In three Phase 1 clinical trials, scientists tested lab-grown dopaminergic cells in small cohorts to assess safety and look for ...
In the Alzheimer’s brain, microglia diversify into several activation states. What controls this specialization? In a preprint posted to bioRxiv on October 13, scientists led by Martin Kampmann at the ...
