Abstract

Tau preformed Fibrils The pathological tau transmission mechanism was elusive. Despite known neuronal uptake pathways, tau-fibril-specific receptor-mediated uptake routes remained obscure, akin to the “maze”. In article number 2303775, Valina L. Dawson, Ted M. Dawson, Xiaobo Mao, and co-workers unveil a novel pathway: spotlighting Lag3 (red), a neuronal surface protein, acts as a major tau fibril receptor facilitating subsequent uptake and propagation in neurons. This discovery elucidates the tau fibril entry “maze” via Lag3.
