    Alzheimer’s disease linked Aβ42 exerts product feedback inhibition on γ-secretase impairing downstream cell signaling

    Katarzyna Marta Zoltowska, Utpal Das ... Lucía Chávez-Gutiérrez
    A novel Aβ-driven inhibitory mechanism on γ-secretases, which leads to substrate accumulation and reduced release of products, contributes to neurotoxicity by impairing γ-secretase signaling and might operate in Alzheimer’s disease.

    Activation of MAP3K DLK and LZK in Purkinje cells causes rapid and slow degeneration depending on signaling strength

    Yunbo Li, Erin M Ritchie ... Yishi Jin
    The activity levels of two closely related MAPKKK are differentially regulated in Purkinje neuron survival.

    Inhibiting USP16 rescues stem cell aging and memory in an Alzheimer’s model

    Felicia Reinitz, Elizabeth Y Chen ... Michael F Clarke
    A neural precursor cell defect precedes widespread inflammation, amyloid plaque pathology, and cognitive deficit in Alzheimer's disease, which can be reversed by inhibiting USP16.

    Cocaine-induced endocannabinoid signaling mediated by sigma-1 receptors and extracellular vesicle secretion

    Yoki Nakamura, Dilyan I Dryanovski ... Carl R Lupica
    Non-synaptic extracellular vesicles may be involved in the release of endogenous cannabinoids in the central nervous system thereby representing a novel mechanism to mediate their effects on synaptic transmission.

    NSC-derived exosomes enhance therapeutic effects of NSC transplantation on cerebral ischemia in mice

    Ruolin Zhang, Weibing Mao ... Zhiqiang Dong
    The combination of NSCs with NSC-derived exosomes ameliorated the injury of brain tissue including cerebral infarction, neuronal death, and glial scarring, and promoted the recovery of motor function.

    LRRK2 maintains mitochondrial homeostasis and regulates innate immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Chi G Weindel, Samantha L Bell ... Robert O Watson
    Long studied in the context of the central nervous system, LRRK2 also functions in peripheral immunity by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis in macrophages to regulate the type I interferon response.

    The LRRK2 G2019S mutation alters astrocyte-to-neuron communication via extracellular vesicles and induces neuron atrophy in a human iPSC-derived model of Parkinson’s disease

    Aurelie de Rus Jacquet, Jenna L Tancredi ... Erin K O'Shea
    Extracellular vesicles are proposed as novel, non-cell-autonomous mediators of neuronal atrophy in Parkinson's disease.
