THE WAY TAU SPREADS MAY LEAD TO NEW DEMENTIA TREATMENTS
Understanding how the protein tau moves between neurons offers insight into possible treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, researchers report. In the fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer’s, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the tau protein is a major culprit. Abundant in our brain cells, tau is normally a team player—it maintains structure and stability...
