Abstract excerpt
Neurofibrillary tangles, a hallmark neuropathological lesion of Alzheimer's disease and of the other tauopathies, are composed of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins (a microtubule-associated protein) assembled in the form of abnormal filaments. Hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins appears to be an early phenomenom, preceding their aggregation into fibrillar structures. This hyperphosphorylation could result from...
