By improving upon a previously suggested pathological CSF biomarker signature, the researchers found evidence of neuron degeneration - marked by an increase in CSF concentration of tau proteins - and plaque deposition, indicated by a decrease in amyloid beta42 concentration.
Contributors overview compounds that interact with tubulin, then address molecular mechanisms, microtubule dynamics, post translational modification, isotypes, tubulin proteomics in cancer, structures, destabilization, molecular features of the interaction of colchicines and related structures with tubulin, mechanisms of resistant to drugs that interfere with microtubule assembly, microtubule damaging agents, microtubule targeting agents, and associations with tau proteins.
In those areas, tau proteins were studded with phosphates and were tangled.
