Abstract excerpt
The rTg4510 mouse is a tauopathy model, characterized by massive neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD)-relevant cortical and limbic structures, deficits in spatial reference memory, and progression of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). In this study, we examined the role of apoptosis in neuronal loss and associated tau pathology. The results showed that DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activation are common in...
