Inhibiting tau-induced elevated nSMase2 activity and ceramides is therapeutic in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model

Abstract Background Cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with hyperphosphorylated tau (pTau) propagation between neurons along synaptically connected networks, in part via extracellular vesicles (EVs). EV biogenesis is triggered by ceramide enrichment at the plasma membrane fr...
