Sjors HW Scheres answered: I don’t really know, but at the very least I would like the animal model to produce the same lament structures as we’ve observed in disease. We’re currently working on making mice that (over) express truncated versions of human tau.René AW Frank remarked: Brilliant that you have managed to identify conditions using truncated tau that generate laments with structures that are highly similar to those from ex vivo post-mortem Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain tissue (https://doi. org/10.1039/d2fd00034b). Could this imply that the ‘seeds’ for tau lament growth are formed of truncated tau in AD brain tissue, perhaps by proteolysis? Following on from this, are these in vitro-prepared tau laments (with disease-relevant structure) capable of seeding the same disease-relevant structure composed of full-length tau in vitro? Similarly, are the in vitro-prepared tau laments (with disease-relevant structure) capable of transmission/spread in the brains of transgenic wild-type tau-expressing mice?
