Targeted brain-specific tauopathy compromises peripheral skeletal muscle integrity and function
Aging BrainTauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders in which the pathological intracellular aggregation of the protein tau causes cognitive deficits. Additionally, clinical studies report muscle weakness in populations with tauopathy.

Mutations causing muscle weakness [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 Transmission of signals from nerves to muscles is critical for life, so substantial safety factor mechanisms have evolved to ensure its success. Despite this, diseases can impair even this robust system. Characterizing these disease mechanisms greatly contributes to understanding this fundamental process.
