Delta-secretase cleaves both APP and Tau, and contributes to Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology. Here the authors show that C/EBPβ, a regulator of inflammation, also regulates transcription of delta-secretase in an age-dependent manner and contributes to Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology in mouse models.
