Abstract

Tau is a neuronal microtubule bundler that is known to stabilize microtubules by promoting their growth and inhibiting their shrinkage. This study reveals novel mechanisms by which tau is able to switch microtubule network organizations via the differential regulation of microtubule bundling and dynamics.

  • Tau phosphorylation at specific sites overlapping AD sites diminishes tau's affinity for microtubules.

    “It is well established that tau phosphorylation, especially at specific sites that overlap with the sites that are phosphorylated in AD, diminishes the affinity of tau for microtubules (4, 26–29).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
