Direct Evidence of Internalization of Tau by Microglia In Vitro and In Vivo
8 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
The microtubule-associated protein (MAP) tau plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of tauopathies. Excess tau can be released into the extracellular medium in a physiological or pathological manner to be internalized by surrounding neurons-a process that contributes to the spread of this protein throughout the brain.
