Weill Cornell Medicine scientists have developed an innovative human neuron model that robustly simulates the spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain-;a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia.
Apr 5 2024Weill Cornell Medicine Weill Cornell Medicine scientists have developed an innovative human neuron model that robustly simulates the spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain-;a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia . This new model has led to the identification of novel therapeutic targets that could potentially block tau spread.
Dr. Li Gan, lead study author, director of the Helen and Robert Appel Alzheimer's Disease Research Institute and the Burton P. and Judith B. Resnick Distinguished Professor in Neurodegenerative Diseases in the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute at Weill Cornell Medicine In their quest to halt tau propagation, Dr. Gan's team employed CRISPRi screening to disable one thousand genes to ascertain their roles in tau spread. They discovered 500 genes that have a significant impact on tau abundance.
