CHAPTER

Post-translational Modification of Tau Protein and Immune Response

This chapter explores the role of post-translational modifications, specifically acetylation of a tau protein segment called PHF6, in the aggregation and pathology of tau-related diseases. The researchers propose a potential protective mechanism of the immune system in clearing acetylated tau to prevent neurodegenerative diseases.
