So excited to announce our preprint describing tau in extracellular vesicles from Alzheimer's disease brain tissue! A thread... ➡️ @Duff_Lab @bwfalcon

doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

We used quantitative mass spectrometry to profile 8 density fractions of human brain EVs: check out github to explore the data: github.com/duff-lab-team/…

Extra special thanks to @darraghpobrien and @EmirTurkes1!! Image
Tau in EVs is pathological and can seed prion-like tau propagation in the brain🧠 Image
Check out these filaments inside EVs 😊 Filament identification made possible by groundbreaking subtomogram averaging of tau filaments inside protected membrane compartments, and is the result of the very hard work & genius of @BehrTiana 🙌🙌🙌 Image
Cryo-ET of intact vesicles shows tau like you've never seen it before - so many interacting proteins - what are they up to, and what can they tell us about tau? Image
Tau in EVs is different from cellular tau! Let's work towards targeting these unique tau species to stop the spread of pathology and improve patient outcomes 🍊 Image
Thanks to our co-authors, funding partners, and host institutions for all the support!
