Treatments that promote protein synthesis in the brain may preserve cognition Alzheimer’s disease.
Abstract Introduction Depression is frequent among older adults and a risk factor for dementia. Identifying molecular links between depression dementia necessary to shed light on shared disease mechanisms. Reduced brain‐derived neurotrophic (BDNF) neuroinflammation are implicated in the pathophysiology of The exercise‐induced hormone, irisin, increases BDNF improves cognition animal models Alzheimer's disease. Lipoxin A4 lipid mediator with anti‐inflammatory activity. However, roles irisin...
Phosphorylation of GluA1, a subunit AMPA receptors (AMPARs), is critical for AMPAR synaptic trafficking and control transmission. cGMP-dependent protein kinase II (cGKII) mediates this phosphorylation, cGKII knockout (KO) affects GluA1 phosphorylation alters animal behavior. Notably, in the KO hippocampus increased as functional compensation gene deletion, while such absent prefrontal cortex. Thus, there are brain region-specific effects on trafficking, which could affect Here, we show that...
Abstract Neuronal protein synthesis is essential for long-term memory consolidation. Conversely, dysregulation of has been implicated in a number neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Several types cellular stress trigger the activation kinases that converge on phosphorylation eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α-P). This leads to attenuation cap-dependent mRNA translation, component integrated response (ISR). We show AD brains exhibit increased...
