Abstract excerpt
Tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia, are common neurodegenerative diseases characterized by misfolding, hyperphosphorylation, and aggregation of tau. Molecular mechanisms underlying tauopathies are still poorly understood, which is in part due to a lack of human models autonomously developing major disease hallmarks. The formation of late-stage disease phenotypes may require adult...
