Schematic diagram of a healthy neuron (left side) versus a diseased neuron (right side) in primary tauopathies. In the healthy neuron, in the absence of phospho-tau, there is no mislocalization of Nup98. On the other hand, in the diseased neuron of primary tauopathies, there is the presence of phospho-tau and nuclear and cytoplasmic mislocalization of Nup98.
