Science Highlights

In neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), proteins form abnormal clumps in the brain that can contribute to neuron loss. Among these proteins, Tau is an important protein for normal physiologic function, but is also well known to form rope-like aggregates, or clumps, known as tau fibrils in neurodegenerative diseases. Evidence suggests that...
