Abstract excerpt
Soluble phosphorylated tau has become a key biomarker for Alzheimer's disease pathology, yet further mechanistic studies are needed beyond observational investigations to clarify the relationship between soluble p-tau species and intracellular tau pathology. Here, we utilized chimeric human cerebral organoids (chCOs) to generate a series of organoids in which the endogenous MAPT gene was CRISPR/Cas9 edited in...
