New Features about Tau Function and Dysfunction

Biomolecules, 2016
Tau is a brain microtubule-associated protein that directly binds to a microtubule and dynamically regulates its structure and function. Under pathological conditions, tau self-assembles into filamentous structures that end up forming neurofibrillary ...

SPG4 Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: From Etiology to Therapy

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) comprise a heterogeneous group of heritable neurodegenerative disorders resulting from mutations in a wide variety of genes. HSP locomotor symptoms include lower limb weakness and spasticity that arise from progressive degeneration of corticospinal axons projecting from the motor cortex to the distal ...

"Prion-like" templated misfolding in tauopathies.

, 2013
The soluble microtubule-associated protein tau forms hyperphosphorylated, insoluble and filamentous inclusions in a number of neurodegenerative diseases referred to as "tauopathies." In Alzheimer's disease, tau pathology develops in a stereotypical ...

Spatiotemporal Tau Accumulation and its Clinical Impact on Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: Longitudinal Florzolotau (18F) Positron Emission Tomography

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Florzolotau (18F) positron emission tomography (florzolotau PET) enables high‐contrast in vivo detection of four‐repeat tau pathology in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), but whether longitudinal tau imaging reflects disease progression remains unclear.

Lewy Body Disease Across Aging: Clinical and Neuropathological Correlates in a Population Brain Bank

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lewy body disease (LBD) is defined by neuronal α‐synuclein pathology, but how Braak‐staged LBD relates to mixed neuropathology and clinical manifestations within a single population‐based cohort remains incompletely characterized. This is especially relevant in cohorts enriched for younger individuals, which may better inform real ...

Ferritin nanocage-enabled detection of pathological tau in living human retinal cells

Scientific Reports
Tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease and Frontotemporal Dementia, are debilitating neurodegenerative disorders marked by cognitive decline. Despite extensive research, achieving effective treatments and significant symptom management remains ...

Targeting tauopathies for therapeutic translation [PDF]

, 2016
Tau protein abnormalities are key pathogenic components of Alzheimer disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. New studies in the less common primary tauopathies, including progressive supranuclear palsy, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and ...

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Distinct Microglial Responses in Two Transgenic Murine Models of TAU Pathology

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Microglial cells are crucial players in the pathological process of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Microglial response in AD has been principally studied in relation to amyloid-beta pathology but, comparatively, little is ...

Total and phosphorylated tau proteins: Evaluation as core biomarker candidates in frontotemporal dementia [PDF]

, 2004
An ever increasing number of patients with neurodegenerative disorders calls for the evaluation of potential diagnostic markers that allow an early diagnosis and an early initiation of specific therapy. Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the
