Abstract excerpt
Elevation of intracranial soluble amyloid-beta (Abeta) levels has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Intracellular events in neurons, which lead to memory loss in AD, however, remain elusive. Humanin (HN) is a short neuroprotective peptide abolishing Abeta neurotoxicity. Recently, we found that HN derivatives activate the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of...
