5/5 In summary, SNHG8 and FAM151B‑DT play complementary roles in tauopathies: SNHG8 limits stress granules that drive tau aggregation, while FAM151B‑DT enhances clearance of toxic proteins, opening new paths for understanding and treating tau-related disease. 🧫🔬🧐

3/5 Both SNHG8 and FAM151B-DT are reduced in neurons with pathogenic MAPT mutations and in brains from patients with tauopathies such as FTLD, PSP, and AD, linking these lncRNAs broadly to tau-related neurodegeneration. 🧠🧪
