Sex Differences in Tauopathy

Sex Differences In Tauopathy enters the Adult Cognitive Disease corpus through the work of Lary Walker (submission 40), and is indexed here as one of the concepts that submission puts to work.

The argument it belongs to

Lary Walker's submission is summarised in this corpus as:

Alzheimer's disease is driven by the prion-like seeded self-assembly of misfolded amyloid-beta and tau proteins. Aberrant Abeta is the molecular prime mover that initiates the disease through corruptive molecular templating analogous to prion propagation, with tauopathy as an essential downstream consequence. Abeta seeds share all key properties with prions including beta-sheet-rich structure, strain variation, resistance to destruction, and systematic spread within and to the brain.

Where it sits

The submission scores against the framework's convergence nodes as: cytoskeletal collapse 3 · endosomal nexus 2 · neuroimmune interface 2 · compensatory paradigm 1.

Its declared subject matter: PS19-tauopathy-sleep, sex-dependent-sleep-loss, hyperarousal-tauopathy, prion-like mechanism, protein seeding, amyloid-beta, tau, protein misfolding, prion paradigm, molecular templating.
