Consistent with previous reports that used recombinant or brain isolates of tau (Frost et al., 2009; Guo and Lee, 2011; Michel et al., 2014; Falcon et al., 2015; Ando et al., 2016; Calafate et al., 2016), the K18-WT oligomers were most likely internalized by endocytosis in both cell types, with same observed for the FTD variants. The gene discussed is KRT18; the disease is frontotemporal dementia.
