MAP Kinase Signaling Cascade Dysfunction Specific to Alzheimer's Disease in Fibroblasts

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (such as Erk1/2) regulate phosphorylation of the microtubule-associated protein tau and processing of the amyloid protein β, both events critical to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we report that enhanced and prolonged Erk1/2 phosphorylati...
