ERBB4 Molecular Switch Linked to Diverse Alzheimer’s Pathologies

According to researchers at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), a misplaced molecular switch called ERBB4 acts as an early driver of multiple Alzheimer’s disease pathologies in mouse models, triggering neuronal hyperactivity, synapse loss, reactive gliosis, amyloid accumulation, and cognitive impairment when it turns on in excitatory neurons instead of inhibitory neurons. How Misplaced ERBB4 … Read more
