Stress granules (IMAGE)
Caption
Stress granules (red) fill stem cell-derived neurons (nuclei shown in blue) from a person with a mutation in the tau gene. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have figured out the connection between tau mutations and stress granules, a discovery which could potentially lead to new approaches to treating a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies.
