Tau proteins are vital for stabilizing microtubules in nerve cells, maintaining neuron structure and function. In Alzheimer’s disease, abnormal tau tangles disrupt cellular transport, leading to cognitive decline. Researchers use tau as a biomarker for early diagnosis and target for therapies. Patients with neurodegenerative conditions, particularly Alzheimer’s, benefit from insights into tau pathology to advance treatments.
