Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress play an important role in ageing and have been implicated in several age-related neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies characterized by the presence of intracellular accumulations of the hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau. To study the interaction between mitochondrial dysfunction and tau pathology...
