This process must be at stake in any galaxy with a supermassive black hole, including the nearby Magellanic (LMC) cloud,…

Phosphorylation allows tau protein to form reversible drops, offering ideas about early Alzheimer’s

Tau phosphorylation makes its structure more flexible and allows you to form dynamic drops of liquid when the temperature increases. Tau in this state can trigger the intracellular tau to add near the nuclear envelope.
