 #ALT#Role of Tau Protein in Alzheimer's Disease

The tau protein has dual functions. Under normal conditions, it acts as a microtubule-associated protein (MAP) that plays a role in microtubule stabilization, but in certain neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, (AD) it becomes a multi-functional protein with a significant role1.

Exercising the brain by learning and thinking is known to improve cognition. Now a new study by Stony Brook University researchers reveals that higher education is associated with later onset of Alzheimer's-related accelerated cognitive declines.

The role of mechanical cues in biology is an emerging area of study, as it is being increasingly observed that mechanical cues play critical roles in many biological processes, such as cell differentiation, cell signaling, signal transduction, apoptosis, and in several disease states.

Targeting a key gene before birth could someday help lead to a treatment for Down syndrome by reversing abnormal embryonic brain development and improving cognitive function after birth, according to a Rutgers-led study. It may also help scientists better understand the mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease. Down syndrome patients often develop early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
