Ginkgo biloba Extract EGb 761 and Its Specific Components Elicit Protective Protein Clearance Through the Autophagy-Lysosomal Pathway in Tau-Transgenic Mice and Cultured Neurons.

Abstract excerpt

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease pathologically characterized by extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) deposits and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in many brain regions. NFT are primarily composed of hyperphosphorylated tau protein (p-Tau). Aβ and p-Tau are two major pathogenic molecules with tau acting downstream to Aβ to induce neuronal degeneration. In this study, we investigated...
