simplified by aioriginal abstract

Tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease, are characterized by progressive neurodegeneration manifesting as motor and cognitive impairments. This study evaluated the therapeutic potential of semaglutide, a clinically approved glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, in the rTg4510 mouse model of tauopathy.
