A cellular model of Alzheimer's disease therapeutic efficacy: PKC activation reverses Aβ-induced biomarker abnormality on cultured fibroblasts

PKC signaling is critical for the non-toxic degradation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and inhibition of GSK3β, which controls phosphorylation of tau protein in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus the misregulation of PKC signaling could contribute to the origins of AD. Bryostatin, a potent PKC...
