Abstract excerpt
Presenilin-1 (PS1) is a component of the beta-catenin degradation machinery, and PS1 mutations linked to familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) represent a loss of this function, leading, in non-neuronal cells, to accumulation of cyclin D1, aberrant cell cycle activation and hyperproliferation. In po...
