  1. Notch and Presenilin: regulated intramembrane proteolysis links development and degeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Annual review of neuroscience 2003-04-18 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Intensive studies of three proteins--Presenilin, Notch, and the amyloid precursor protein (APP)--have led to the recognition of a direct intersection between early development and late-life neurodegeneration.

  2. A gamma-secretase inhibitor blocks Notch signaling in vivo and causes a severe neurogenic phenotype in zebrafish

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. EMBO reports 2002-07-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Inhibition of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) production by blocking gamma-secretase activity is at present one of the most promising therapeutic strategies to slow progression of Alzheimer's disease pathology. gamma-secretase inhibitors apparently block Abeta generation via interference with presenilin (PS) function.

  3. Neurogenic phenotypes and altered Notch processing in Drosophila Presenilin mutants

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Nature 1999-04-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Presenilin proteins have been implicated both in developmental signalling by the cell-surface protein Notch and in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
