Abstract excerpt
The assembly of tau into amyloid filaments is associated with more than 20 neurodegenerative diseases, collectively termed tauopathies. Electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of brain-derived tau filaments revealed that specific structures define different diseases, triggering a quest for the development of experimental model systems that replicate the structures of disease. Here, we describe 12...
