Abstract excerpt
The accumulation of pathological four-repeat (4R) tau is central to several frontotemporal dementia (FTD) subtypes, but human neuronal models amenable to high-throughput screening of 4R tau-targeting therapies remain very limited. To address this, we developed induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived i3Neuron (i3N) lines expressing >75% 4R tau, driven by FTD splice-shifting mutations (Ser305Asn; S305N or...
