Tau seeding without tauopathy

2022-02-06

Abstract excerpt

Neurodegenerative tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are caused by brain accumulation of tau assemblies. Evidence suggests tau functions as a prion, and cells and animals efficiently propagate unique tau assemblies. This suggests a dedicated cellular replication machinery, with normal physiologic function for tau seeds. Consequently, we hypothesized that healthy control brains would have seeding activity...
