All in the Family: How the APPs Regulate Neurogenesis

Recent intriguing evidence suggests that metabolites of amyloid precursor protein (APP), mutated in familial forms of Alzheimer’s disease, play critical roles in developmental and post-natal neurogenesis. Of note is soluble APPα (sAPPα) that regulates neural progenitor cell proliferation. The APP fa...
