Lentiviral-Mediated Transduction of Human Neurons for Tau Protein Aggregation Analysis
Source: Aulston, B., et al. An In Vitro Model for Studying Tau Aggregation Using Lentiviral-mediated Transduction of Human Neurons.  This video demonstrates the process of transducing human neuronal cells with a lentivirus encoding a mutant human tau protein tagged with yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) to study protein aggregation. It outlines the steps from viral entry to mutant tau expression, culminating in the formation of visible cytoplasmic tau aggregates in the neurons.
