AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

Tau & Other Protein Related Pathologies: Alzheimer's Disease June 2020

Episode Summary

Having trouble keeping up with the literature in Alzheimer's Disease? We are here to help! In this episode, Naila goes over the papers from June 2020 on Tau aggregation & phosphorylation as pertaining to Alzheimer's Disease. She then moves on to general protein aggregation (if you are interested in Amyloid-beta specifically, that one's got a whole episode on its own) and protein uptake and trafficking. Enjoy!
