UF neuroscientists investigated whether accumulations of tau and alpha synuclein can interact to accelerate the appearance of “mixed pathologies” in mouse models.

Using transgenic mouse models of tauopathy and synucleinopathy, Williams et al., show that preformed fibrils of tau and α-synuclein protein can cross-seed each other efficiently in the brain.
