Abstract excerpt
The expression of familial Alzheimer's disease mutants of presenilin-1 (PS1) proteins has been observed to induce cell death in cellular systems. To investigate how this phenomenon might be associated to alterations of the microtubule network, we have studied the effect of wild-type and mutant (C263R, P264L and delta9) PS1 proteins expression on the formation of microtubule-dependent processes outgrowth and the...
