Increased Tau Expression Correlates with Neuronal Maturation in the Developing Human Cerebral Cortex

Abstract excerpt

Although best known for its role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), tau is expressed throughout brain development, although it remains unclear when and which cell types this expression occurs and how it affects disease states in both fetal and neonatal periods. We thus sought to map tau mRNA and protein expression in the developing human brain at the cellular level using a combination of existing single-cell RNA...
