Abstract excerpt
Autophagy impairment is commonly implicated in the pathological characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Presenilin 1 (PS1) expression in human brain gradually decreases with age and its mutations account for the most common cases of early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). The dominant autophagy phenotypes occur in PS1-knockout and PS1 mutant neurons; it is still unknown whether PS1 deficiency causes...
