Stacked binding of a PET ligand to Alzheimer’s tau paired helical filaments

Abstract Accumulation of filamentous aggregates of tau protein in the brain is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and many other neurodegenerative tauopathies. The filaments adopt disease-specific cross-β amyloid conformations that self-propagate and are implicated in neuronal loss....
