You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

  1. Dynamic presenilin 1 and synaptotagmin 1 interaction modulates exocytosis and amyloid β production

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2017-02-13 Biomarkers

    We demonstrate that targeted inhibition of the PS1-Syt1 binding in neurons, without changing the proteins' expression level, triggers "pathogenic" conformational shift of PS1, and consequent increase in the Aβ42/40 ratio.

  2. A Novel PSEN1 K311R Mutation Discovered in Chinese Families with Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Affects Amyloid-β Production and Tau Phosphorylation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2017-01-01 Biomarkers

    The K311R mutation might contribute to AD pathogenesis by overproducing toxic Aβ species and enhancing tau phosphorylation.

  3. Presenilin 1 (PS1), a causative molecule of familial Alzheimer's disease (AD), is known to be an unprimed substrate of glycogen synthase kinase 3 β (GSK3β) [Twomey and McCarthy (2006) FEBS Lett 580:4015-4020] and is phosphorylated at serine 353, 357 residues in its cytoplasmic loop region [Kirschenbaum et al. (2001) J Biol Chem 276:7366-7375].

  4. Amyloid-β production via cleavage of amyloid-β protein precursor is modulated by cell density

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2010-01-01 Biomarkers

    Mounting evidence suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is caused by the accumulation of the small peptide, amyloid-β (Aβ), a proteolytic cleavage product of amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP).
