Zusammenfassung

Die Alzheimer-Krankheit ist histopathologisch durch die Aggregation des Amyloid-β-Peptids und des Tau-Proteins gekennzeichnet. Während frühere Interventionsstudien v. a. gegen die Amyloidpathologie gerichtet waren, sind in den letzten Jahren vermehrt Tau-gerichtete Therapien in die klinische Erprobung gelangt. Unser Beitrag fasst den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zu Anti-Tau-Therapien mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Tau-Immunisierung und Antisense-Oligonukleotiden (ASO) zusammen.
