1. genetic manipulation of Sirt3 revealed that amyloid-beta increased levels of total tau acetylated tau through its modulation of Sirt3. PMID: 29574628
2. Data suggest that both the small heat shock protein HspB1/Hsp27 and the constitutive chaperone Hsc70/HspA8 interact with tau to prevent tau-fibril/amyloid formation. Chaperones from different families play distinct but complementary roles in prevention of tau-fibril/amyloid formation. (HspB1 = heat shock protein family B small member 1; Hsc70 = heat shock protein family A Hsp70) PMID: 29298892

13. These findings suggest a relative homogeneous clinicopathological phenotype in P301L MAPT mutation carriers in our series. This phenotype might help in the differential diagnosis from other tauopathies and be a morphological hint for genetic testing. The haplotype analysis results suggest a founder effect of the P301L mutation in this area. PMID: 28934750
14. Report that the interaction of Tau with vesicles results in the formation of highly stable protein/phospholipid complexes. These complexes are toxic to primary hippocampal cultures and are detected by MC-1, an antibody recognizing pathological Tau conformations. The core of these complexes is comprised of the PHF6* and PHF6 hexapeptide motifs, the latter in a beta-strand conformation. PMID: 29162800

17. Because neurofibrillary tangles are aberrant intracellular inclusions formed in the AD patients by hyperphosphorylated tau, it was initially proposed that phosphorylated and/or aggregated intracellular tau protein was causative of neuronal death. However, recent studies suggest a toxic role for non-phosphorylated and non-aggregated tau when it is located in the brain extracellular space. [review] PMID: 29584657
18. MAPT rs242557G/A genetic polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to sporadic AD, and individuals with a GG genotype of rs242557G/A might be at a lower risk. PMID: 29098924
19. Study indicates that there are at least two common patterns of TDP-43 and tau protein misfolding in human brain aging. In patients lacking substantial Alzheimer's disease pathology, cerebral age-related TDP-43 with sclerosis (CARTS) cases tend to have tau neurofibrillary tangles in the hippocampal dentate granule neurons, providing a potential proxy indicator of CARTS. PMID: 28281308
20. Patients with Kii amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and parkinsonism-dementia complex (Kii ALS/PDC) had dislocated, multinucleated Purkinje cells and various tau pathologies in the cerebellum.

33. CSF tau proteins and their index differentiated between Alzheimer's disease or other dementia patients and cognitively normal subjects, while CSF levels of neurofilaments expressed as their index seem to contribute to the discrimination between patients with neuroinflammation and normal controls or AD patients PMID: 28947837
34. Comparison of the distributions of tau pTyr18 and double-phosphorylated Syk in the transgenic mouse brain and human hippocampus showed that the phosphorylation of tyrosine 18 in tau already occurs at an early stage of tauopathy and increases with the progression of neurodegeneration. Syk appears unlikely to be a major kinase that phosphorylates tyrosine 18 of tau at the early stage of tauopathy. PMID: 28919467
35. Study confirmed that Western diet did not exacerbate tau pathology in hTau mice, observed that voluntary treadmill exercise attenuates tau phosphorylation, and reported that caloric restriction seems to exacerbate tau aggregation compared to control and obese hTau mice. PMID: 28779908
36. Study showed a gradual accumulation of nuclear tau in human cells during aging and its general co-localization with the DAPI-positive heterochromatin, which seems to be related to aging pathologies (neurodegenerative or cancerous diseases), where nuclear AT100 decreases drastically, a condition very evident in the more severe stages of the diseases. PMID: 28974363
37. Methamphetamine can impair the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway and induce neuronal apoptosis through endoplasmic reticulum stress, which is mainly mediated by abnormal CDK5-regulated Tau phosphorylation. PMID: 29705343

39. Assessed the subcellular localization of tau45-230 fragment using tau45-230-GFP-transfected hippocampal neurons as well as neurons in which this fragment was endogenously generated under experimental conditions that induced neurodegeneration.
