<scp>mTOR</scp> regulates tau phosphorylation and degradation: implications for Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies
20 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of tau is a critical event in several neurodegenerative disorders, collectively known as tauopathies, which include Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. Pathological tau is hyperphosphorylated and aggregates to form neurofibrillary tangles. The molecular mechanisms leading to tau accumulation remain unclear and more needs to be done to elucidate them. Age is a major risk factor for all...
