Our study reveals that impaired autophagy/proteasome-mediated tau elimination is a pathological feature of mutant PSEN1-linked familial AD, corticobasal degeneration and Pick’s disease dementias
Take a look at our new article! We demonstrate that the Alzheimer´s disease gene Presenilin regulates tau pathology via the autophagy & proteasome pathways. Funded by @CienciaGob @AgEInves @CIBER_ISCIII #CIBERNED @_BrightFocus @INC_UAB link.springer.com/10.1186/s4…

Genetic inactivation of Presenilins in neurons drives tau phosphorylation and aggregation in vivo by activating Akt/PKB and impairing proteasome-mediated tau degradation.
