Potential neuroprotective strategies against tauopathy.

Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases, including AD (Alzheimer's disease) and FTLD-T (tau-positive frontotemporal lobar degeneration), with shared pathology presenting as accumulation of detergent-insoluble hyperphosphorylated tau deposits in the central nervous system. The currently available treatments for AD address only some of the symptoms, and do not significantly alter the progressi...
