We review the diverse lines of evidence in support of the emerging role of cAMP-mediated Phosphodiesterase (PDE) signalling with respect to aging, inflammation and depression. In view of the link of PDE to Epigenetic complex, targeting PDE through designing modulators and inhibitors of PDE may represent a novel approach in AD therapeutics. We... view more»
