TL;DR

This chapter looks at the nature of the tau-mitochondrial interface, and proposes a paradigm of tau-induced energy failure in AD, and discusses novel therapeutic approaches that target both tau and mitochondrial abnormalities, namely antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), mitochondria targeted compounds and mitophagy modifiers.

Energetic crisis, mitochondrial vulnerability and disruption of lactate shuttle in Alzheimer's disease.

Cerebral bioenergetic metabolic failure as a central driver of cognitive decline, arising from irreversible reactive gliosis and neuroblastosis mechanisms is emphasised and various therapeutic options are highlighted, including restoration of ANLS to mitigate the pathogenesis and memory loss in AD.

Tau dysfunction in alzheimer’s disease: molecular and cellular mechanisms, genetic modulation, and therapeutic perspectives

Findings support a model in which tau dysfunction results from the convergence of molecular aberrations and genetic susceptibility within a pathological network involving amyloid-β, neuroinflammation, and synaptic failure.
