Contribution of Multiple Pathways to the Development of Alzheimer’s Disease
Sharon Cohen, MD, and Marwan Sabbagh, MD, discuss the current understanding of tau as a marker of neuronal injury and its role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease, particularly focusing on the significance of phosphorylated tau and neurofibrillary tangles in the disease process.
- What is the current thinking on multiple mechanisms contributing to different aspects of pathology of Alzheimer’s disease?
- What role does tau, its phosphorylated form, and neurofibrillary tangles of tau protein play in pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease?
