Mechanistic Link Discovered between Calcium Signaling and Alzheimer Gene
August 27th, 2007
Scientists from the Institute for Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease Research (IAADR) based in Fort Worth, Texas, have discovered a molecular mechanism that links the activity of a crucial protein involved in Alzheimer’s disease with a fundamental signaling process in nerve cells. Published online in The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, the research was funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Alzheimer’s Association. The discovery builds on previous research from several NIA-funded laboratories that identified mutations in the Alzheimer’s disease related gene...
