Measuring morphological and cellular changes in Alzheimer's dementia: a review emphasizing stereology.

abstract：:The aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau into paired-helical filaments is the defining characteristic of the tauopathies. It has become apparent that the hyperphosphorylation of tau likely plays a role in the aggregation process and thus strategies to reduce tau phosphorylation are generating wide int...
