  • Deletion of the tau gene fails to induce problems in axonal transport, suggesting that other proteins associated with microtubule binding or regulation may compensate for tau.

    “However, deletion of the tau gene fails to induce problems in axonal transport, suggesting that other proteins associated with microtubule binding or regulation, such as MAP1 and MAP2 may compensate for tau [127].”
  • Data from cell and animal models show that tau is a mediator of Aβ-induced toxicity.

    “Data from cell and animal models show that tau is also a mediator of Aβ-induced toxicity46–48.”

    From Tau-targeting therapies for Alzheimer disease (2018) · cites this paper as [47]

  • Some data suggest that Aβ toxicity is partially mediated through tau, as tau knockout mice are protected against Aβ-induced insults including cognitive effects, seizures, survival, axonal transport, and DNA double-stranded breaks.

    “Some data suggest that Aβ toxicity is partially mediated through tau (50–52) as the tau knockout mouse has proven to be protected against a growing number of Aβ-induced insults, including those affecting cognition (50, 53), seizures (14, 50, 51, 54, 55), survival (50, 51, 54), axonal transport (52), and double-stranded breaks in DNA (55).”

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.
