Selectively Silencing GSK-3 Isoforms Reduces Plaques and Tangles in Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease
23 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is linked to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), senile plaques (SPs), and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), but the specific contributions of each of the GSK-3 α and β isoforms to mechanisms of AD have not been clarified. In this study, we sought to elucidate the role of each GSK-3α and GSK-3β using novel viral and genetic approaches. First, we developed recombinant...
