Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Mutations in the MAPT gene that are causal for frontotemporal dementia (FTD) lead to mislocalization of tau protein to the neuronal cell body, changing microtubule dynamics to disrupt the nuclear envelope and nucleocytoplasmic transport. METHODS: We report a high content imaging-based phenotypic screen to identify novel small molecules that correct nuclear envelope defects in human neurons...
