Abstract
Hyperphosphorylated tau is a cardinal feature of Alzheimers disease (AD) pathology. The deregulation of kinases that phosphorylate tau can alter normal tau-related processes, including microtubule dynamics, growth cones, and axonal transport, and induce tau aggregation in paired helical filaments. Here we discuss the possible roles of the Abl family of tyrosine kinases, which are essential regulators of cytoskeleton cellular signaling cascades, in AD tau pathology and how the physiological roles of Abl kinases could be connected with the cytoskeletal alterations induced by Aβ aggregates and AD progression.

Alzheimer's Disease Drug Development
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite decades of research, no cure or disease-modifying treatment is available yet. Therefore, the need for developing effective therapies to treat Alzheimer's disease is an urgent matter. This special issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of ...read more
Current updates on the Role of Neuroinflammation in Neurodegenerative Disorders
Neuroinflammation is an invariable hallmark of chronic and acute neurodegenerative disorders and has long been considered a potential drug target for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia. Significant evidence of inflammatory processes as a feature of AD is provided by the presence of inflammatory markers in plasma, CSF and postmortem brain ...read more

Diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers of dementia
Dementia affects 18 million people worldwide. Dementia is a syndrome of symptoms caused by brain disease, usually chronic or progressive, clinically characterized by multiple impairments of higher cortical functions such as memory, thinking, orientation, and learning. In addition, in the course of dementia, cognitive deficits are observed, which often hinder ...read more
