Clusterin ameliorates tau pathology in vivo by inhibiting fibril formation

Abstract The molecular chaperone Clusterin (CLU) impacts the amyloid pathway in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but its role in tau pathology is unknown. We observed CLU co-localization with tau aggregates in AD and primary tauopathies and CLU levels were upregulated in response to tau accumulation. To fur...
