Abstract excerpt
It is known that in the nervous tissue beta-amyloid overproduction and its extracellular or intracellular deposition can activate mitogen-activated protein kinases involved in tau protein phosphorylation. Hyperphosphorylated tau is not more able to bind neuron microtubules, leading to their disassembly and axon degeneration. We have previously described that at 10 months of age in the cerebellum of Ts65Dn mice,...
