Researchers develop a human neuron model of tau spread in Alzheimer's and dementia, identifying potential drug targets.

Researchers have developed a human neuron model of tau spread, which could lead to new therapies for Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. This novel model has identified potential targets for drug development to block tau spread, as no current therapies can stop the spread of tau aggregates in patients' brains. The preclinical study published in Cell provides a significant advancement in Alzheimer's disease research.
