Brief description A protein called tau has an essential role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and related dementias. We have developed novel transgenic models, which allow us to treat the mice and to abrogate the clinical symptoms. As we have dissected the underlying molecular mechanisms, our ultimate goal is to develop a treatment approach based on these mechanisms and thereby reduce the socio-economic burden of these debilitating diseases.
