Tau and Alpha Synuclein Synergistic Effect in Neurodegenerative Diseases: When the Periphery is the Core
In neuronal cells, tau is a microtubule-associated protein placed in axons and alpha synuclein is enriched at presynaptic terminals. They display a propensity to form pathologic aggregates, which are considered the underlying cause of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Their functional impairment...
