Abstract

Tau protein, which was discovered in Prof. Kirschner's laboratory in 1975, has been the focus of my research over the last 40 years. In this issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease commemorating its 20th year of publication, I will provide a short review of some of the features of my relationship with tau.

Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease; microtubules; neurons; tau.
