abstract：:Tau misfolding has been implicated in a variety of tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease. The microtubule binding domain of tau consists of four repeat segments (R1-R4), and aggregation of these segments leads to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles. Previous studies indicate that misfolded tau associates wit...
