Journal ArticleDOI

Propagation of Tau aggregates

TL;DR: In mice, the intracerebral injection of Tau inclusions induced the ordered assembly of monomeric Tau, followed by its spreading to distant brain regions, and short fibrils constituted the major species of seed-competent Tau.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tau protein is phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II within its microtubule-binding domains at Ser-262 and Ser-356.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that phosphorylation of both these sites occurs in cultured nerve cells under certain conditions, indicating their potential physiological relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tau mutations in frontotemporal dementia FTDP-17 and their relevance for Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Assembly of tau into filaments may be the gain of toxic function that is believed to underlie the demise of affected brain cells, and is the defining neuropathological characteristic of frontotemporal dementias, such as Pick's disease.
