Microtubule Nexus Reframes Alzheimer's: Amyloid Beta Displaces Tau
TL;DR Summary
A new study suggests Alzheimer's may start when amyloid beta competes with tau for binding to microtubules in neurons, displacing tau and destabilizing the cell’s transport system. This microtubule nexus could unify amyloid- and tau-centered theories and open pathways for therapies that target tau displacement from microtubules.
