Fluent molecular mixing of Tau isoforms in Alzheimer’s disease neurofibrillary tangles

The tau protein in Alzheimer’s disease contains two isoforms. Using solid-state NMR and seeded growth of isotopically labeled tau, here the authors determined that the two isoforms mix fluently on the molecular level to propagate the AD tau structure.
