Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most usual neurodegenerative disorder leading to dementia in the aged human population. It is characterized by the presence of two main brain pathological hallmarks: senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). NFTs are composed of fibrillar polymers of the abnormally phosphorylated cytoskeletal protein tau.Entities:
