AI Summary

In Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, abnormal tau proteins aggregate into filaments that damage neurons. The filaments have a highly ordered core structure. Around this core, molecules such as ubiquitin attach to tau as post‑translational modifications. The study suggests that polyubiquitin may help stabilize these filament structures.
