Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 by lithium correlates with reduced tauopathy and degeneration <i>in vivo</i>
2 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated, aggregated tau are a common pathological feature of tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease. Abnormal phosphorylation of tau by kinases or phosphatases has been proposed as a pathogenic mechanism in tangle formation. To investigate whether kinase inhibition can reduce tauopathy and the degeneration associated with it in vivo, transgenic mice...
