[PDF][PDF] Tau protein disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport in Alzheimer's disease

…, S Dujardin, AS Amaral, JC Grima, RE Bennett… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Tau is the major constituent of neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the
mechanism underlying tau-associated neural damage remains unclear. Here, we show that tau …
