Therefore, with an ageing population continuing to grow and the consequent rise in AD, elucidating the precise role of p38 MAPK-MK2 and p38 MAPK-tau signalling cascades in controlling actin remodelling becomes very important as it may identify novel targets to slow down the cognitive decline observed in normal ageing and in the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases. Here, MAPT is linked to Mental deterioration.
