Hyperphosphorylation of Tau Due to the Interference of Protein Phosphatase Methylesterase-1 Overexpression by MiR-125b-5p in Melatonin Receptor Knockout Mice
Melatonin has been indicated to ameliorate tau hyperphosphorylation in the pathogenesis of tau diseases, but the role of melatonin-receptor signal transduction has not been clearly discovered. In this study, we found intensive tau hyperphosphorylation in melatonin receptor knockout mice. Bielschowsk...
