Why Certain Brain Neurons Are Vulnerable to Degeneration

Wolframin-expressing excitatory neurons (WFS1) are more vulnerable in the entorhinal cortex.WFS1 may reduce tau-pathology and neurodegeneration via the regulation of stress response to the abnormal buildup of tau aggregates and the downstream protein degradation pathway.

Novel Root Cause of Tau-Induced Neurodegeneration Discovered

mRNA decay may facilitate tau-induced damage to the brain and associated apoptosis that contributes to a range of neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers found the mechanism can be altered pharmacologically, providing a new target for the development of therapeutics to prevent or slow the progression of some neurodegenerative disorders.
