Exciting study of Alzheimer's plasma biomarkers in a community sample. The finding I was most surprised by was this plot of biomarker prevelance by education. We know education reduces incidence of AD, but this shows it also prevents biological markers of AD! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A study by @mxhend.bsky.social and collaborators found that an unstructured layer surrounding the Alzheimer’s-related protein tau plays a critical role in recruiting other proteins to misfold in Alzheimer’s progression.

Great collaboration with @sjorsscheres.bsky.social led by graduate student @alysa-kasen.bsky.social! It turns out core filament structure and fuzzy coat PTMs contribute to tau seeding.
