TAU FUNCTION AND DYSFUNCTIONS IN ALZHEIMER DISEASE

The research focuses on exploring the multifaceted roles of the neuronal protein tau in addition to its microtubule association, investigating its presence in non-neuronal cells, discovering a new isoform named W-Tau, and studying its potential relevance in neuronal aging and Alzheimer's disease. The findings encompass tau's involvement in microglia activation, its preventive effects on aggregation, and its role in podocyte architecture. The research also delves into understanding tau's interactions with various cellular processes and its implications in neurodegenerative disorders.
