Disruption of nuclear envelope integrity as a possible initiating event in tauopathies
1 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
The microtubule-associated protein tau is an abundant component of neurons of the central nervous system. In Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative tauopathies, tau is found hyperphosphorylated and aggregated in neurofibrillary tangles. To obtain a better understanding of the cellular perturbations that initiate tau pathogenesis, we performed a CRISPR-Cas9 screen for genetic modifiers that enhance tau...
