Description

While animal models show beneficial effects of ADAM10 overexpression on cognition and synaptic function, the abstract doesn’t explain the underlying mechanisms beyond its role in amyloid precursor protein processing. Understanding these pathways could reveal additional therapeutic targets and optimize ADAM10-based interventions.
