The paper reports cryo-EM structures of tau filaments from individuals with P301L and P301T MAPT mutations, revealing distinct filament folds associated with FTDP-17.

The paper uses cryo-EM to study tau filaments from Alzheimer's and CTE cases with and without flortaucipir, finding binding only in CTE Type I filaments.

This study uses cryo-EM to show that tau filaments in ALS/PDC share the CTE fold, suggesting environmental causes for the disease.

The paper identifies a SNCA mutation causing juvenile-onset synucleinopathy and describes the structural features of α-synuclein filaments associated with the disease.

The paper reports cryo-EM structures of α-synuclein filaments from Parkinson's disease, PD dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies, showing they are composed of a single protofilament distinct from those in multiple system atrophy.

This study identifies age-dependent formation of TMEM106B amyloid filaments in human brains using cryo-EM, showing they appear in older individuals but not younger ones.

Cryo-EM structures sort four-repeat tauopathies into three-layered (PSP, GGT, LNT) and four-layered (CBD, AGD, ARTAG, MAPT intron 10 mutations) tau folds, grounding a hierarchical structure-based classification.

This study determines the structure of α-synuclein filaments in multiple system atrophy using cryo-EM, revealing distinct filament types and conformers that differ from in vitro assemblies.

This paper reports the structure of tau filaments in corticobasal degeneration using cryo-EM, revealing a novel four-layered fold distinct from other tauopathies.
