Exploring the potential role of rab5 protein in endo-lysosomal impairment in Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract excerpt

Growing evidence suggests that neuronal dysfunction in the endo-lysosomal and autophagic processes contributes to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since they are the primary cellular systems involved in the production and clearance of aggregated amyloid plaques, endo-lysosomal or autophagic equilibrium must be maintained throughout life. As a result,...
