p-tau Ser356, NUAK1, and Alzheimer’s Pathology
2026-09-16
The reference study establishes p-tau Ser356 as a pathology-associated tau species that rises with Alzheimer’s disease progression and is frequently present in neurofibrillary tangles and synaptic compartments. Its brain-slice experiments further show that NUAK inhibition has model-dependent effects, lowering p-tau Ser356 specifically in live human tissue but producing broader tau and neuronal-protein losses in mouse cultures.
