Tau and tauopathies across primate species: implications for modeling neurodegenerative disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience
Tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the abnormal accumulation and aggregation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein. They can be primary or secondary depending on whether tau inclusions are the predominant pathology (e.g ...

E3 ligase Praja1 mediates ubiquitination and degradation of microtubule‐associated protein tau

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
E3 ligase Praja1, but not its paralogue Praja2, recognizes and ubiquitinates tau protein for proteasomal degradation. This newly identified function of Praja1‐mediated tau degradation suggests its role in protein quality control, which may provide insights into the pathogenesis of tauopathies.

Incubation with tau aggregates increases hippocampal circuit excitability and enhances long-term depression in acute mouse hippocampal slices

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits
Aggregation of the protein tau is a key pathological hallmark of tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s Disease. Tau dissociates from microtubules and diffuses from the axon into the soma-dendritic compartment, where it aggregates firstly into oligomers and ...

Co‐localization of tau and TDP‐43 after extracellular vesicle delivery to cells

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from donor cells transfected with EGFP–2N4R‐tau or mCherry‐wtTDP‐43 were taken up by recipient cells, leading to cytosolic co‐localization of tau and TDP‐43. Molecular modeling revealed that tau and TDP‐43 directly interact through hydrogen bonding, suggesting a mechanistic link underlying their co‐pathology ...

The causative role of amyloidosis in the cardiac complications of Alzheimer's disease: a comprehensive systematic review

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of the bidirectional causative link between cerebral amyloid‐beta (Aβ) angiopathy and cardiovascular disease in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Common cardiovascular risk factors like microvascular thrombosis, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, hypertension and atherosclerosis lead to cerebral hypoperfusion and ...

Integrative physiology of skeletal muscle for maintaining cognitive health

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Maintenance of brain/cognitive health and function is increasingly appreciated to be a systemic challenge. In particular, skeletal muscle influences the brain through release of myokines in response to contraction, which influence the expression of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the brain, a vital player in the ...

Unraveling Lysosomal Exocytosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Physiological Functions

open access: yesTraffic, Volume 27, Issue 1, March 2026.
Lysosomal exocytosis is propelled by specific molecular mechanisms that direct its microtubule‐dependent transport and subsequent fusion with the plasma membrane. This process fulfills essential physiological functions such as plasma membrane repair, maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and participation in signal transduction.

SKALE: An Interpretable Multiscale Machine Learning Model for Decoding Phase‐Specific Protein Aggregation in Neurodegenerative Proteinopathies

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Protein aggregation drives diverse degenerative diseases, yet its molecular origins are difficult to predict. SKALE uses interpretable machine learning to link sequence, structure, and dynamics, revealing how local structural weakening triggers aggregation.
