Astrocytes in Tauopathies [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 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

Seminars in Neurology, 2019 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.

Immunotherapy for Tauopathies [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Neuroscience, 2011 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.

Microglial activation arises after aggregation of phosphorylated-tau in a neuron-specific P301S tauopathy mouse model [PDF]
, 2020 Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and frontotemporal dementia are characterized by neuronal expression of aberrant tau protein, tau hyperphosphorylation (pTAU), tau aggregation and neurofibrillary tangle formation sequentially ...

Distinct Lysosomal Network Protein Profiles in Parkinsonian Syndrome Cerebrospinal Fluid. [PDF]
, 2016 BackgroundClinical diagnosis of parkinsonian syndromes like Parkinson's disease (PD), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is hampered by overlapping symptomatology and lack of diagnostic biomarkers, and definitive ...

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2007 Tau is a microtubule-associated protein predominantly expressed in nerve cells that promote microtubule assembly and microtubule stabilization. Tau is a cytosolic protein mainly present in axons and involved in anterograde axonal transport. In several neurodegenerative diseases, as for example Alzheimer's disease, tau metabolism is altered.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Rationale: Although sleep apnea occurs in over 50% of individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) or related tauopathies, little is known concerning the potential role of tauopathy in the pathogenesis of sleep apnea.

Developmental expression of 4-repeat-Tau induces neuronal aneuploidy in Drosophila tauopathy models [PDF]
, 2017 Tau-mediated neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease and tauopathies is generally assumed to start in a normally developed brain. However, several lines of evidence suggest that impaired Tau isoform expression during development could affect mitosis and

Sex-Related Motor Deficits in the Tau-P301L Mouse Model
Biomedicines, 2021 The contribution of mouse models for basic and translational research at different levels is important to understand neurodegenerative diseases, including tauopathies, by studying the alterations in the corresponding mouse models in detail.
