Cover Story: Alzheimer’s disease is a complex, multifaceted neurodegenerative disorder. There is increasing evidence that a key signalling system in the brain—Wnt signalling—becomes dysregulated as part of the disease process, and this may lead to loss of synapses, altered microglial function and potentially an impaired blood–brain barrier. Deeper understanding of this dysregulation may reveal opportunities for therapeutic intervention through normalisation of specific components of the Wnt signalling process. View this paper.
