Lipid rafts: linking prion protein to zinc transport and amyloid-beta toxicity in Alzheimer’s disease
Dysregulation of neuronal zinc homeostasis plays a major role in many processes related to brain ageing and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Yet, despite the critical role of zinc in neuronal function, the cellular mechanisms underpinning its homeostatic control are fa...
