Deficiency of terminal complement pathway inhibitor promotes neuronal tau pathology and degeneration in mice.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The neuronal microtubule-associated protein tau becomes hyperphosphorylated and forms aggregates in tauopathies but the processes leading to this pathological hallmark are not understood. Because tauopathies are accompanied by neuroinflammation and the complement cascade forms a key innate immune pathway, we asked whether the complement system has a role in the development of tau pathology. FINDINGS:...
