Calcium dysregulation contributes to neurodegeneration in FTLD patient iPSC-derived neurons
10 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Mutations in the gene MAPT encoding tau, a microtubules-associated protein, cause a subtype of familial neurodegenerative disorder, known as frontotemporal lobar degeneration tauopathy (FTLD-Tau), which presents with dementia and is characterized by atrophy in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.
