Overexpression of four-repeat tau mRNA isoforms in progressive supranuclear palsy but not in Alzheimer's disease
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Perturbations in the microtubule-associated protein tau occur in several human neurodegenerative diseases. In Alzheimer's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), tau proteins assemble into straight and paired helical filaments that form intraneuronal deposits of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). The mechanisms underlying the aberrant assembly of tau into NFTs is unknown. To determine whether alterations...
