How neurons fend off Alzheimer’s with a cellular broom that clears the toxic tau protein | Fierce Biotech

“When the protein tau builds up inside the neurons of the brain, the cells become impaired and eventually die in a process that’s been implicated in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. But some neurons never get clogged up with tau—and a team of scientists led by the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians has discovered why.”
