Neurons and neuroglial cells are the basic units that constitute the structure and function of the nervous system.

Tau protein is a microtubule-associated protein predominantly found in neurons, playing a crucial role in maintaining cellular cytoskeletal stability and neuronal function. However, when Tau protein undergoes abnormal modifications (such as hyperphosphorylation), it forms neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which are the hallmark pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies.
