The aggregation and accumulation of the microtubule-associated protein (Tau) is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and many neurodegenerative diseases.

Aggregation of the microtubule associated protein Tau is associated with several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer disease and frontotemporal dementia.

|
The unmet need of effective therapy for Alzheimer's disease, combined with problematic pharmacological approaches, led the field to explore immunotherapy, first against amyloid peptides and recently against protein Tau.

|
Here we adapted the liposome-based amyloid vaccine that proved safe and efficacious, and incorporated a synthetic phosphorylated peptide to mimic the important phospho-epitope of protein Tau at residues pS396/pS404.

In AD, Pin1 affects two proteins thought to be key to disease pathology: the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the microtubule-binding protein tau, by switching them from a dysfunctional shape (cis) back to a functional one (trans), which can be distinguished by cis and trans-specific antibodies.

|
In the brains of people with AD, Pin1 is absent or inactivated and cis tau is accumulated at early stages of AD.

In the absence of Pin1, APP is processed into toxic beta-amyloid and tau becomes misshapen to form tangles.
