University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA.
Background: With insight into the elevated levels of phosphorylation of diseased tau, it is believed that specific modifications occur in a time-dependent manner that contribute to tau's role in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis and progression. Present methods to obtain phospho-tau (p-tau) from post-mortem tissue or recombinantly are insufficient to answer the foremost questions in the field, and there is currently no way to study each disease-relevant modification reproducibly or in isolation. To this point, learning about tau phosphorylation at the resolution of a single modification has been a major obstacle in clarifying whether certain sites are causative of disease or just a by-product of other harmful mechanisms.

Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA), University of New South Wales, UNSW Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Background: Harmonization of neuropsychological assessment for vascular cognitive disorders (VCD) is important for ensuring the highest standards for diagnostic and post-diagnostic care. A battery jointly proposed by the NINDS-CSN has received much support. Considering significant developments in the field, and an urgent need for consensus on remote and computerised assessment methods, an international expert group was commissioned to develop an updated harmonized battery and associated assessment guidelines for VCD using the Delphi process.
