Tau mutations cause frontotemporal dementias.

TL;DR: The likely primary effect of the exonic mutations scribed atrophy of the frontal and temporal lobes of Pick’s disease is thus a reduced ability of mutated tau to interact with the cerebral cortex, often with additional, subcortical microtubules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of frontotemporal dementia FTDP-17 mutations on heparin-induced assembly of tau filaments

TL;DR: Findings indicate that missense mutations in tau lead to frontotemporal dementia through potentially multiple mechanisms, namely the stimulation of heparin‐induced filament assembly of recombinant tau, despite the absence of any change in structure indicated by circular dichroism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paradoxical activation of Raf by a novel Raf inhibitor.

TL;DR: Raf appears to suppress its own activation by a novel feedback loop, such that inhibition is always counterbalanced by reactivation, implying that some agonists reported to trigger the cellular activation of c-Raf might actually be inhibitors of this enzyme, and that compounds which inhibit the kinase activity of Raf might not be useful as anticancer drugs.
