Autopsy and imaging studies have demonstrated a typical pattern of tau progression in Alzheimer's disease (AD), spreading to previously unaffected regions in an anatomical sequence of 'Braak' stages. In a recent study, Pascoal et al. provide evidence that microgliosis colocalizes with tau in a Braak-like pattern, furthering the notion that microglial activation is strongly related to the propagation of tangle pathology.
尸检和影像学研究表明,阿尔茨海默病(AD)中 tau 的进展具有典型模式,按照“Braak”阶段的解剖顺序传播到以前未受影响的区域。在最近的一项研究中,Pascoal 等人提供了证据表明小胶质细胞与 tau 以类似 Braak 的模式共定位,进一步表明小胶质细胞的激活与缠结病理的传播密切相关。
