Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent findings, showing the presence of an inflammatory process in the brain of transgenic mice expressing P301S mutated human tau protein, indicate that neuroinflammation may contribute to tau-related degeneration in frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 with tau mutations (FTDP-17T). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence of neuroinflammatory changes in the brain of a...
