author keywords: Alzheimer?s disease; Cell death; Inflammation; TAK1
MeSH headings : Animals; Mice; Alzheimer Disease / genetics; Calcium; Cytokines / metabolism; Neuroinflammatory Diseases; Signal Transduction / physiology
TL;DR: It is reported that compound stimulation with the neurotoxic factors TNF and glutamate aberrantly activates neuronal TAK1 (also known as MAP3K7), which promotes the pathogenesis of AD in mouse models and provides a molecular mechanism linking cytokines, Ca2+ signaling and neuronal necroptosis in AD.
