Journal ArticleDOI

Filamentous nerve cell inclusions in neurodegenerative diseases: tauopathies and alpha-synucleinopathies.

TL;DR: It is established that tauopathies and alpha-synucleinopathies account for most late-onset neurodegenerative diseases in man and the formation of intracellular filamentous inclusions might be the gain of toxic function that leads to the demise of affected brain cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tau proteins and neurofibrillary degeneration.

TL;DR: The paired helical filament is the major fibrous component of neurofibrillary pathology in Alzheimer's disease and the microtubule‐associated protein tau forms an important, if not the sole, constituent of the pairedHelical filament.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tau protein and neurodegeneration

TL;DR: The identification of mutations in Tau as the cause of FTDP-17 established that dysfunction or misregulation of tau protein is sufficient to cause neurodegeneration and dementia and is leading to the development of good transgenic animal models of the tauopathies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pick's disease : hyperphosphorylated tau protein segregates to the somatoaxonal compartment

TL;DR: It is shown that hyperphosphorylated tau segregates to different neuronal compartments in the two diseases, with a somatoaxonal distribution in Pick’s disease and a somatodendritic distribution in Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of mAb AP422, a novel phosphorylation-dependent monoclonal antibody against tau protein.

TL;DR: It is shown that AP422 is the most specific anti‐tau antibody available for detecting the neurofibrillary lesions of Alzheimer's disease and that Ser‐422 in tau is a good in vitro substrate for mitogen‐activated protein kinase, but not for glycogen synthase kinase‐3 or neuronal cdc2‐like kinase.
