Hyperosmotic stress‐induced apoptosis and tau phosphorylation in human neuroblastoma cells

Abstract excerpt

A characteristic hallmark of Alzheimer's disease brain is the presence of hyperphosphorylated tau; however, the mechanisms responsible for the aberrant tau phosphorylation are unknown. Recently, it has been shown that apoptotic-like processes may be involved in some of the neuronal loss in Alzheimer's disease. In consideration of these findings, the relationship between tau phosphorylation and apoptosis was...
