Trimeric Tau Is Toxic to Human Neuronal Cells at Low Nanomolar Concentrations

In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), tau aggregates into fibrils and higher order neurofibrillary tangles, a key histopathological feature of AD. However, soluble oligomeric tau species may play a more critical role in AD progression since these tau species correlate better with neuronal loss and cognitive...
