Abstract
Hyperphosphorylated tau is a cardinal feature of Alzheimers disease (AD) pathology. The deregulation of kinases that phosphorylate tau can alter normal tau-related processes, including microtubule dynamics, growth cones, and axonal transport, and induce tau aggregation in paired helical filaments. Here we discuss the possible roles of the Abl family of tyrosine kinases, which are essential regulators of cytoskeleton cellular signaling cascades, in AD tau pathology and how the physiological roles of Abl kinases could be connected with the cytoskeletal alterations induced by Aβ aggregates and AD progression.

Diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers of dementia
Dementia affects 18 million people worldwide. Dementia is a syndrome of symptoms caused by brain disease, usually chronic or progressive, clinically characterized by multiple impairments of higher cortical functions such as memory, thinking, orientation, and learning. In addition, in the course of dementia, cognitive deficits are observed, which often hinder ...read more
