H14Z-AP # Expressing a Tardigrade Protein to Prevent Taupathy in Drosophila # Tauopathy causes Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a common neurodegenerative disease with no cure. New therapeutic strategies are waiting to be discovered. Protein misfolding and cell death are two key features of AD. Scientists have identified a tardigrade protein called CAHS3 that can help protein folding and prevent cell death. In this study, we tested whether CAHS3 expression could attenuate tau toxicity in a fly AD model. ...
