Parp mutations protect from mitochondrial toxicity in Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder. Familial forms of Alzheimer's disease associated with the accumulation of a toxic form of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides are linked to mitochondrial...

Beta secretase 1-dependent amyloid precursor protein processing promotes excessive vascular sprouting through NOTCH3 signalling.
Amyloid beta peptides (Aβ) proteins play a key role in vascular pathology in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) including impairment of the blood-brain barrier and aberrant angiogenesis. Although previous work has demonstrated a...
