Generating paired helical filaments (PHFs) in vitro presents new opportunities for Alzheimer’s research
Research spearheaded by Sofia Lövestam in Michel Goedert and Sjors Scheres’ groups has identified a combination of 12 residues in tau which, when mutated in vitro, prompt the formation of paired helical filaments (PHFs), the distinctive hallmark of advanced Alzheimer’s disease. Interestingly, in the engineered tau, named PAD12, the residues in question are all outside […]
