Cofilin, a Master Node Regulating Cytoskeletal Pathogenesis in Alzheimer’s Disease
27 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
The defining pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are proteinopathies marked by the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide and hyperphosphorylated tau. In addition, Hirano bodies and cofilin-actin rods are extensively found in AD brains, both of which are associated with the actin cytoskeleton. The actin-binding protein cofilin known for its actin filament severing, depolymerizing, nucleating, and bundling...
