Abstract excerpt
Neurofibrillary tangles are intracellular inclusions made of tau protein that accumulates in neurons in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and in other tauopathies. We have investigated the ability of the rapamycin ester CCI-779/Temsilorimus, a mTOR inhibitor with better stability and pharmacological properties compared to rapamycin, to interfere with the development of a motor phenotype and tau pathology in a mutant tau...
