OBJECTIVES: Microglial overactivation, which is secondary to abnormalities of amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) and tau proteins in the pathogenic cascade leading to onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD), accelerates tau pathology, according to our recent observations using mouse models of tauopathies, and this positive feedback results in formation of a vicious cycle between upstream and downstream processes, potentially...
