Science Signaling: PTEN contributes to Alzheimer’s disease

The phosphatase PTEN antagonizes the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)–AKT pathway by converting the phospholipid PIP3 to PIP2. PIP3-mediated PI3K-AKT signaling in neurons increases synaptic strength of active synapses, a phenomenon called long-term potentiation (LTP). Mutations in PTEN are...

Nature Neuroscience: Targeting PTEN interactions for Alzheimer's disease

Depression of AMPA receptor–mediated synaptic currents and impairment of long-term potentiation, triggered by amyloid-β, are the hallmarks of Alzheimer's pathophysiology. These dysfunctions are now linked to upregulated PDZ domain–dependent PTEN translocation to spines, contributing to...

AlzForum: PTEN Makes Aβ Depressingly Toxic

Too much Aβ weakens neural synapses by favoring long-term depression, but how? A report published January 18 in Nature Neuroscience suggests that the peptide does so by hijacking the neuron’s own mechanisms of synaptic plasticity. Scientists led by José Esteban from the Spanish Research Council...

New Protein Improves Memory, Offers Insight Into Learning Process

A recent study in PLoS Biology should give hope to the forgetful. A collaborative research group in Europe, spanning Spain, Switzerland and Denmark, developed a small protein called FGL that enhances memory formation and learning in rats, and now they have some explanation as to why. The study's...
