<i>Drosophila</i> models of human tauopathies indicate that Tau protein toxicity <i>in vivo</i> is mediated by soluble cytosolic phosphorylated forms of the protein
27 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
Tau is a neuronal microtubule-associated protein involved in microtubules assembly and stabilization. Tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease and fronto-temporal dementia with parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, are a group of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the presence of intraneuronal filamentous inclusions of abnormally and hyperphosphorylated Tau. Currently, the molecular mechanisms...
