Cleavage of tau by asparagine endopeptidase mediates the neurofibrillary pathology in Alzheimer’s disease

Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), composed of truncated and hyperphosphorylated tau, are a common feature of numerous aging-related neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the molecular mechanisms mediating tau truncation and aggregation during aging remain elusive. Her...
