Abstract
New Inroads Into Our Understanding of the Tauopathies, Alzheimer's Disease, and the Contribution of Altered Protein Conformation to Human Neurological Disease.
Highlights

A substantial scientific advance has recently been made in the elucidation of the molecular mechanism by which unusually folded, self-associating tau proteins drive the neuropathology of several common types of human neurodegenerative disease
Each of the tauopathies are defined by the progressive accumulation in the brain of microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) proteins as complex, multi-component fibrillar aggregates, and their incidence and prevalence correlate strongly with the degree of dementia (Shi et al, 2021; Vaquer-Alicea et al, 2021)
