Nature of Tau-Associated Neurodegeneration and the Molecular Mechanisms
Neurodegeneration is defined as the progressive loss of structure or function of the neurons. As the nature of degenerative cell loss is currently not clear, there is no specific molecular marker to measure neurodegeneration. Therefore, researchers have been using apoptotic markers to measure neurodegeneration. However, neurodegeneration is completely different from apoptosis by morphology and ...

متن کاملP 97: Neurodegeneration Induced by Tau protein
Tau is one of several types of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), responsible for the assembly and stability of microtubule networks that is present only in neurons and predominantly localized in axons which its functions are tightly regulated by phosphorylation. Via as yet unknown mechanisms, tau becomes hyperphosphorylated and accompanies with neuronal degeneration, loss of synapses...
متن کاملMicroRNAs and Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration
During the last few years microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key mediators of post-transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. MiRNAs targets, identified through gene expression profiling and studies in animal models, depict a scenario where miRNAs are fine-tuning metabolic pathways and genetic networks in both plants and animals. MiRNAs have shown to be differentially express...
متن کامل[Cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration].
Our daily life is controlled and managed by the highly coordinated nerve cells in the brain. Information travels between nerve cells through cell-cell contacts, called synapses. The formation of a functional synapse is essential for both neuronal activity and survival. Disruption of normal synapse formation provokes cell death, a root cause for many diseases of the nervous system. Dr. Zhang’s r...
