Tau is a scaffolding protein that serves multiple cellular functions that are perturbed in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We have recently shown that amyloid-β, the second hallmark of AD, induces de novo protein synthesis of tau. Importantly, this activation was found to be tau-dependent, raising the question of whether FTD-tau by itself affects protein synthesis. We therefore applied non-canonical amino acid labelling to visuali ...[more]
