TAF15 amyloids propagate via defined motifs in a prion-like fashion

This study shows TAF15 forms amyloid fibrils and propagates prion-like between cells, identifying specific motifs that drive its aggregation in vitro and in cells.

Identification of common variants influencing risk of the three-repeat tauopathy Pick's disease: a genome wide association study.

This study conducts a GWAS on Pick's disease and identifies two SNPs associated with risk, though not at genome-wide significance, suggesting potential genetic factors beyond MAPT mutations.

Expanding the spectrum of annexin A11 proteinopathy in frontotemporal lobar degeneration and motor neuron disease

The paper characterizes ANXA11 proteinopathy in FTLD-PLS and MND-TDP cases, showing it is common in FTLD-PLS but not linked to pathogenic ANXA11 variants or TDP type C.
