Tokyo, October 25 (IANS): Japanese researchers have discovered a new mechanism by which clumps of tau protein found in brain cells are created in the brain, killing brain cells and causing Alzheimers disease.
A specific mutation to an enzyme called MARK4 changed the properties of tau, usually an important part of the skeletal structure of cells, making it more likely to aggregate and become more insoluble.
Addressing such mechanisms can lead to breakthrough treatments, according to the study published…
