Tau is a microtubule stabilizing protein that forms aggregates in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Tau derived from AD patients' brains induces tau aggregation in a prion-like manner when injected into susceptible mouse models.Here we investigated whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collected from patients diagnosed with probable AD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) likely due to AD harbors a prion-like tau seeding potential. CSF was injected intrahippocampally into young P301S tau transgenic mice. CSF ...[more]
