Abstract

Aggregation of microtubule-associated protein tau is the hallmark of tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease. Eftekharzadeh et al. (2018) demonstrate that pathogenic tau alters nucleocytoplasmic transport by interacting with components of the nuclear pore complex, revealing a perturbation shared by multiple neurodegenerative diseases.
