The Biology And Pathology Of Tau And Its Role In Tauopathies II

A Biochemical Society Focused Meeting - Cambridge, United Kingdom

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), is a progressive, increasingly common neurodegenerative condition without an available treatment. It is characterized by two pathological hallmarks: the neuritic plaques made up of amyloid beta protein and the neurofibrillary tangles made up hyper-phosphorylated Tau protein.

Topics

The biochemistry and processing of Tau in physiological and pathological conditions

Pathological mechanisms including axonal transport disruption, filament formation, synaptic dysfunction and others

Tau and b interactions
