Neurodegenerative Tauopathies Human Disease and Transgenic Mouse Models
syndromes are characterized and increasing attention Prominent filamentous tau inclusions are increasingly is focused on the relationship of different FTDP-17 genorecognized as the hallmark neuropathology of a growing types to the heterogeneous phenotypic manifestations family of neurodegenerative diseases collectively known of these hereditary neurodegenerative tauopathies (Hong as tauopathies...
متن کاملTau mutations in neurodegenerative diseases.
Tau deposition is found in a variety of neurodegenerative brain diseases. The identification of tau mutations that cause familial dementia demonstrated that aberrant Tau alone could cause neurodegenerative disease and suggested that Tau likely plays a role in other cases in which Tau deposits are found, most notably Alzheimer disease. The mechanisms by which tau mutations cause neurodegeneratio...
متن کاملRoles of heat-shock protein 90 in maintaining and facilitating the neurodegenerative phenotype in tauopathies.
Neurodegeneration, a result of multiple dysregulatory events, is a lengthy multistep process manifested by accrual of mutant variants and abnormal expression, posttranslational modification, and processing of certain proteins. Accumulation of these dysregulated processes requires a mechanism that maintains their functional stability and allows the evolution of the neurodegenerative phenotype. I...
متن کاملTransgenic zebrafish as a novel animal model to study tauopathies and other neurodegenerative disorders in vivo.
Our ageing society is confronted with a dramatic increase in patients suffering from tauopathies such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia and others. Typical neuropathological lesions including tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau protein as well as severe neuronal cell death characterize these disorders. No mechanism-based cures are available at present. Genetically modified...
متن کاملHuman gene mutations causing infertility.
The identification of gene mutations causing infertility in humans remains noticeably deficient at present. Although most males and females with infertility display normal pubertal development, nearly all of the gene mutations in humans have been characterised in people with deficient puberty and subsequent infertility. Gene mutations are arbitrarily categorised into four different compartments...
