Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The intronic MAPT mutation IVS10+16 is linked to familial frontotemporal dementia, causing hyperphosphorylation and accumulation of tau protein, resulting in synaptic and neuronal loss and neuroinflammation in patients. This mutation disrupts MAPT gene splicing, increasing exon 10 inclusion and leading to an imbalance of 3R and 4R Tau isoforms. METHODS: We generated patterned cortical organoids from...
