This work investigated how CTSH is regulated and how it influences early AD pathophysiology, and how it influences early AD pathophysiology.

Abstract

Lysosomal dysfunction contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD) by impairing protein clearance and promoting neuroinflammation. Cathepsin H (CTSH), a lysosomal protease, recently emerged as a protective AD locus. We investigated how CTSH is regulated and how it influences early AD pathophysiology.

The Alzheimer's disease risk gene SORL1 is a regulator of excitatory neuronal function

Synaptic dysfunction is an early feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and proper localization of proteins involved in pre‐ and post‐synaptic composition is dependent on endosomal recycling and trafficking, cellular processes involving the AD risk gene sortilin‐related receptor 1 (SORL1).

Alzheimer’s Disease Neurofibrillary Pathophysiology: PTPRD- and Flavonol-Modified Mechanisms, Prevention and Therapeutics

A variety of evidence now supports two interrelated hypotheses concerning Alzheimer’s disease (AD) neurofibrillary pathology (NFT), its prevention and treatment. The first hypothesis: the receptor type protein tyrosine phosphatase D (PTPRD) plays a key role in AD NFT pathogenesis by modulating activities of neuronal gl...
