Abstract
Cryo-electron microscopy of brain tissue from two individuals with Down syndrome showed amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau filaments identical to those found in individuals with sporadic or dominantly inherited Alzheimer disease (AD), but also two types of Aβ40 filaments with distinct structures different from those previously reported in AD and cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
