Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive decline and the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau protein. The role of tau lactylation at the K677 site in AD progression is not well understood. This study explores how tau K677 lactylation affects ferritinophagy, ferroptosis, and their functions in an AD mouse model. Results show that mutating the K677 site to R reduces tau...
