Reduced TREM2 activation in microglia of patients with Alzheimer's disease

Reduced TREM2 activation in microglia of patients with Alzheimer’s disease

Loss-of-function variants of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) enhance the chance of creating Alzheimer’s illness (AD). The mechanism via which TREM2 contributes to the illness (TREM2 activation vs inactivation) is basically unknown. Right here, we analyzed adjustments in a gene … Read More

PTEN function: how normal cells control it and tumour cells lose it.

PTEN function: how normal cells control it and tumour cells lose it.

The PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10) tumour suppressor is a PI (phosphoinositide) 3-phosphatase that may inhibit mobile proliferation, survival and progress by inactivating PI 3-kinase-dependent signalling. It additionally suppresses mobile motility via mechanisms which may be partially unbiased of phosphatase … Read More
