    Description

    This study showed that long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) ORF2p expression is almost undetectable in human cancers. LINE-1 is the major driver of mobile DNA activity in humans. When expressed, LINE-1 loci produce bicistronic transcripts encoding two proteins essential for retrotransposition, ORF1p and ORF2p. ORF2p expression is not well characterized in human tissues and cell lines. For the study,...

    Description

    Tau is one of the major microtubule-associated proteins in neurons. Its main role is to stabilize microtubules, supporting cytoskeletal organization, and axonal transport. Tau may undergo pathological modifications and become hyperphosphorylated. This causes the protein to accumulate into toxic assemblies that collectively lead to neurodegeneration. In Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins change shape...
