Astrocytes in Tauopathies [PDF]
Tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the progressive accumulation across the brain of hyperphosphorylated aggregates of the microtubule-associated protein tau that vary in isoform composition, structural conformation and

Tauopathies: new perspectives and challenges
Background Tauopathies are a class of neurodegenerative disorders characterized by neuronal and/or glial tau-positive inclusions. Main body Clinically, tauopathies can present with a range of phenotypes that include cognitive/behavioral-disorders ...

Oxidative Stress in Tauopathies: From Cause to Therapy
Oxidative stress (OS) is the result of an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant capacity of cells. Due to its high oxygen demand, the human brain is highly susceptible to OS and, thus, it is not a surprise ...

Neurodegenerative Disease Tauopathies
Tauopathies are a diverse group of progressive and fatal neurodegenerative diseases characterized by aberrant tau inclusions in the central nervous system. Tau protein forms pathologic fibrillar aggregates that are typically closely associated with neuronal cell death, leading to varied clinical phenotypes including dementia, movement disorders, and ...

Early-Life Environment Influence on Late-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease
With the expand of the population’s average age, the incidence of neurodegenerative disorders has dramatically increased over the last decades. Alzheimer disease (AD) which is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease is mostly sporadic and primarily ...

Genetic and sporadic forms of tauopathies, the most prevalent of which is Alzheimer’s Disease, are a scourge of the aging society, and in the case of genetic forms, can also affect children and young adults.

Tauopathies are rare neurodegenerative disorders related to microtubule-associated protein tau, which functions to stabilize microtubules. Pathological changes caused by overexpression or hyperphosphorylation of tau lead to the disengagement of tau from microtubules and accumulation of toxic intracellular inclusions.

Impaired Glucose Homeostasis in a Tau Knock-In Mouse Model
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia. While impaired glucose homeostasis has been shown to increase AD risk and pathological loss of tau function, the latter has been suggested to contribute to the emergence of the glucose ...

Immunotherapy for Tauopathies [PDF]
Pathological tau protein is found in Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies. The protein is hyperphosphorylated and/or mutated which leads to aggregation and neurotoxicity. Because cognitive functions correlate well with the degree of tau pathology, clearing these aggregates is a promising therapeutic approach.

Tau Stabilizes Chromatin Compaction
An extensive body of literature suggested a possible role of the microtubule-associated protein Tau in chromatin functions and/or organization in neuronal, non-neuronal, and cancer cells. How Tau functions in these processes remains elusive.
