Four-repeat tauopathies

open access: yesProgress in Neurobiology, 2019
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein with versatile functions in the dynamic assembly of the neuronal cytoskeleton. Four-repeat (4R-) tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases defined by cytoplasmic inclusions predominantly composed of tau protein isoforms with four microtubule-binding domains.

Neurodegenerative Tauopathies

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2001
▪ Abstract  The defining neuropathological characteristics of Alzheimer's disease are abundant filamentous tau lesions and deposits of fibrillar amyloid β peptides. Prominent filamentous tau inclusions and brain degeneration in the absence of β-amyloid deposits are also hallmarks of neurodegenerative tauopathies exemplified by sporadic corticobasal ...

The tauopathies

2023
Tauopathies are a clinically and neuropathologically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by abnormal tau aggregates. Tau, a microtubule-associated protein, is important for cytoskeletal structure and intracellular transport.

Update on tauopathies

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2017
Purpose of review The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the role of tau beyond the stabilization of microtubules and on the clinical, pathological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of tauopathies. Recent findings Beyond its function as a microtubule-associated tau ...

Tau and Tauopathies

Neurology India, 2007
Tau protein is a neuronal microtubule-associated protein (MAP), which localizes primarily in the axon. It is one of the major and most widely distributed MAPs in the central nervous system. Its biochemistry and molecular pathology is being increasingly studied. Tau is a key component of neurofbrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Disorders with

Tauopathies

2014
Tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the deposition of abnormal tau protein in the brain. The spectrum of tau pathologies expands beyond the traditionally discussed disease forms like Pick disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and argyrophilic grain disease. Emerging entities and pathologies include

Imaging biomarkers in tauopathies

Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2016
Abnormally aggregated tau protein is central to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia variants, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The post-mortem cortical density of hyperphosphorylated tau tangles correlates with pre-morbid cognitive dysfunction and neuron loss.

Tauopathy: An overview

Neuropathology, 2006
In this symposium, cutting‐edge data on neuropathology, pathological biochemistry and molecular biology of sporadic and familial tauopathies, as well as on the development of model animals, were presented and discussed by five expert neuropathologists.

Anatamopathological spectrum of tauopathies

Movement Disorders, 2003
The presence of tau-positive intraneuronal filamentous inclusions with or without additional inclusions in glial cells has been recognised as a major neuropathological feature in a significant group of neurodegenerative diseases, which are described as tauopathies.

Frontotemporal dementia and tauopathy

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2001
The presence of abundant neurofibrillary lesions made of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins is the characteristic neuropathology of a subset of neurodegenerative disorders classified as "tauopathies." The discovery of mutations in the tau gene in frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) constitutes convincing evidence ...
