Mimicking of tau hyperphosphorylation in GABAergic motoneurons of <i>C. elegans</i> induces severe peripheral and neuronal alterations
2023-07-04
Abstract excerpt
In several neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), tau, a microtubule-associated protein (MAP) enriched in the axon, becomes hyperphosphorylated, detaches from microtubules, redistributes to the somato-dendritic compartment and self-aggregates. The mechanisms leading to neuronal dysfunction and death by tau pathology remain to be fully elucidated. C. elegans has been successfully used by se...
