STEP inhibition prevents Aβ-mediated damage in dendritic complexity and spine density in Alzheimer’s disease.

2020-04-03

Abstract excerpt

Loss of dendritic spines and decline of cognitive function are hallmarks of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Previous studies have shown that AD pathophysiology involves increased expression of a central nervous system-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase called STEP (STriatal-Enriched protein tyrosine Phosphatase). STEP opposes the development of synaptic strengthening by dephosphorylating substrates, inc...
