Importantly, the mechanism of tau-mediated neuronal death remains elusive. Aged mice expressing nonmutant human tau in the absence of mouse tau (htau mice) developed NFTs and extensive cell death. The mechanism of neuron death was investigated in htau mice, and surprisingly, the presence of tau filaments did TI - Cell-Cycle Reentry and Cell Death in Transgenic Mice Expressing Nonmutant Human Tau Isoforms JF - Journal of Neuroscience DO - 10.1523/jneurosci.4637-04.2005 DA - 2005-06-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/cell-cycle-reentry-and-cell-death-in-transgenic-mice-expressing-CEXXrSwIMR DP - DeepDyve ER -
