The cell biology of β-amyloid precursor protein and presenilin in Alzheimer's disease

Selkoe, D·1998·Trends in Cell Biology

Abstract

It is a truism of modern biomedical science that the development of therapies expected to slow or arrest the progression of a disease requires as detailed an understanding of its molecular and cellular pathogenesis as possible. In turn, the cloning of novel gene products implicated in a disease often leads to new insights about fundamental features of protein structure and function. A particularly compelling example of this beneficial interplay between basic and applied cell biology arises from the exciting recent progress in deciphering Alzheimer's disease (AD). This review discusses the current understanding of the cell biology of two proteins crucial for the pathogenesis of AD, the beta-amyloid precursor protein and presenilin.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Insulin regulates food intake, energy homeostasis, reproduction, sympathetic activity, learning and memory, as well as neuronal proliferation, apoptosis, and synaptic transmission in the central nervous system.

    “Insulin has been shown to regulate a wide range of processes in the central nervous system such as food intake, energy homeostasis, reproduction, sympathetic activity, learning and memory [129], as well as neuronal proliferation, apoptosis, and synaptic transmission [130].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
