The ordered assembly of tau is the gain-of-toxic function that causes human tauopathies

The ordered assembly of tau is the gain-of-toxic function that causes human tauopathies:

Dementia Big
A pathological pathway leading from soluble to insoluble and filamentous Tau underlies human tauopathies. This ordered assembly causes disease and is the gain-of-toxic function. It involves the transition from an intrinsically disordered monomer to a highly structured filament. Based on recent findings, one can divide the ordered assembly into propagation of pathology and neurodegeneration. Short tau fibrils constitute the major species of seed-competent tau in the brains of mice transgenic for human P301S tau.
