Modulation of tau expression in C57BL/6 mice retinas. Credit: Acta Neuropathologica Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1186/s40478-024-01804-0 The protein tau is essential to the function of cells in the brain and central nervous system, but when over-produced under certain conditions, it forms tangles that clog the cells’ internal structures. These tangles have also been found in Alzheimer’s disease patients. Tau is also present in neuronal cells in the retina, and research led by Macquarie University’s Vision Science Group has found that altered tau is likely to have a significant role in the development of glaucoma. About 300,000 Australians are estimated to be Read More
