Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by TAU protein-related pathology, including frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease among others. Mutant TAU animal models are available, but none of them faithfully recapitulates human pathology and are not suitable for drug screening. METHODS: To create a new in vitro tauopathy model, we generated a footprint-free triple MAPT-mutant...
