This study shows MARK2 in glial cells suppresses inflammation and reduces tau toxicity in neurodegenerative diseases.

This study shows MARK4 enhances stress granule formation and promotes tau accumulation through interactions with TIA1.

This study shows that increasing glucose uptake in Drosophila neurons improves ATP levels, reduces aging-related deficits, and extends lifespan, especially under dietary restriction.

This study shows that a MARK4 mutation linked to Alzheimer's disease increases tau phosphorylation and neurodegeneration through both direct and indirect mechanisms.
