Tau Protein Management

Meaning

Tau protein management refers to the physiological processes and therapeutic strategies aimed at maintaining the proper structure, function, and clearance of the Tau protein within the central nervous system. Tau is a microtubule-associated protein essential for stabilizing the internal structure of axons in neurons. Effective management prevents the hyperphosphorylation and aggregation of Tau into neurofibrillary tangles, which are pathological hallmarks of several neurodegenerative conditions.
