Tau spreading coordinates intercellular lipid flux enhancing neuronal resilience to lipid toxicity

The presence of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in the extracellular environment of the brain suggests that protein disorder may serve functions beyond those confined to the intracellular space.

The presence of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in the extracellular environment of the brain suggests that protein disorder may serve functions beyond those confined to the intracellular space. Tau, a prototypical IDP linked to tauopathies, a class of neurodegenerative…
