Spermidine/spermine-N 1-acetyltransferase ablation impacts tauopathy-induced polyamine stress response
Abstract Background Tau stabilizes microtubules; however, in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and tauopathies, tau becomes hyperphosphorylated, aggregates, and results in neuronal death. Our group recently uncovered a unique interaction between polyamine metabolism and tau fate. Polyamines exert an array of...
