Populations of Tau Conformers Drive Prion-like Strain Effects in Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias
26 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Recent findings of diverse populations of prion-like conformers of misfolded tau protein expand the prion concept to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and monogenic frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD)-MAPT P301L, and suggest that distinct strains of misfolded proteins drive the phenotypes and progression rates in many neurodegenerative diseases. Notable progress in the previous decades has generated many lines of...
