Structural heterogeneity of CTE Type I tau filaments with an interface-shifted polymorph

Ryohei Watanabe, Edward B. Lee

The paper analyzes cryo-EM data of CTE tau filaments, identifying a new CTE Type I-like structure with a shifted protofilament interface and showing its coexistence with the canonical CTE Type I structure within fibrils.
