Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neuronal accumulation of misfolded microtubule-associated protein tau is a hallmark of neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and other tauopathies, and has been a therapeutic target. Microglia can spread tau pathology by secreting tau-containing exosomes, although the specific molecular target is yet to be identified for the therapeutic intervention. P2X purinoceptor 7...
