Novel Strategies for the Generation of Neuronal Diversity: Lessons From the Fly Visual System.

abstract：:Cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by α-secretase generates an extracellularly released fragment termed secreted APP-alpha (APPsα). Not only is this process of interest due to the cleavage of APP within the amyloid-beta sequence, but APPsα itself has many physiological properties that suggest its great po...
