Data detailed in 'Casein kinase 1 alpha associates with the tau-bearing lesions of inclusion body myositis' have been presented. According to recent research from the United States, "Inclusion body myositis and Alzheimer's disease are age-related disorders characterized in part by the appearance of intracellular lesions composed of filamentous aggregates of the microtubule-associated protein tau. Abnormal tau phosphorylation accompanies tau aggregation and may be an upstream pathological event in both diseases."
