Constitutive XBP-1s-mediated activation of the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response protects against pathological tau

Accumulation of abnormal tau protein drives neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia disorders. Here, the authors demonstrate the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response mediator XBP-1 controls pathological tau accumulation and the resultant neurodegeneration in a transg...
