Alzheimer's Disease and Tau: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches
Friday, September 18, 2015 | 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
The New York Academy of Sciences
Presented by the Brain Dysfunction Discussion Group
Poster Abstract Deadline:
- August 14, 2015
The Microtubule Associated Protein tau (MAPT or tau) is closely linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD), the Fronto-Temporal Dementias (FTDs) and several other neurodegenerative diseases. While it has long been recognized that tau aggregates to form neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), a hallmark pathological lesion in AD and other disorders, emerging evidence demonstrates that tau has a mechanistically complex role in neurodegeneration. Speakers at this symposium will address novel tau-centered mechanisms of neurodegeneration and new therapeutic approaches for many devastating neurological disorders.
*Reception to follow.
