Arc Protein Linked to Tau Spread in Alzheimer’s Study
Key Takeaways
- Researchers say the neuronal protein Arc is needed for toxic Tau to spread in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.
- Arc normally travels between neurons inside extracellular vesicles, and toxic Tau appears able to hitch a ride.
- The finding points to a possible strategy for slowing disease progression by blocking Tau transfer rather than only treating existing damage.
