A pathogenic Tau mutation drives autophagy-lysosome dysfunction that limits Tau degradation in a model of frontotemporal dementia - Nature Communications
Researchers show that a disease-causing Tau mutation disrupts the autophagy-lysosome pathway in human neurons, leading to Tau accumulation, and that enhancing autophagy can partially restore protein c...

Nos agarramos a un clavo ardiendo con tal de no cambiar nuestra dependencia de los combustibles fósiles. Uno de esos clavos se llama geoingeniería climática ¿Qué es? ¿Por qué no sirve al menos por ahora? #geoingenieria #cambioclimatico #fernandovalladares youtu.be/ZqHbcJ0WG00?...
