Abstract excerpt
Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), consisting of abnormally hyperphosphorylated tau, are implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). The molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of tau phosphorylation are largely unknown. While the PI3K/Akt pathway has been shown to regulate multiple cellular events pertinent to AD pathogenesis, potential functions...
