A major role for Tau in neuronal DNA and RNA protection in vivo under physiological and hyperthermic conditions

Nucleic acid protection is a substantial challenge for neurons, which are continuously exposed to oxidative stress in the brain. Neurons require powerful mechanisms to protect DNA and RNA integrity and ensure their functionality and longevity. Beside its well known role in microtubule dynamics, we r...
