Reports that the neuropeptide catestatin lowers pathological tau, reduces neuroinflammation, and improves cognition in mouse tauopathy models.

The Peptide Catestatin Reduces Tau Pathology in Mice
Key Takeaways
  • Catestatin supplementation decreased phosphorylated and aggregated tau species in PS19 tauopathy mice.
  • Catestatin treatment reduced gliosis and improved cognitive performance in treated mice.
  • Catestatin lowered epinephrine and suppressed PKA hyperactivation, linking adrenergic signaling to tau pathology modulation.
