What is the greatest void to date in our knowledge of Alzheimer's Disease?
The link between amyloid and tau pathology
What are the top three papers (not yours) you have read recently?
Asuni AA, Boutajangout A, Quartermain D, Sigurdsson EM. Immunotherapy targeting pathological tau conformers in a tangle mouse model reduces brain pathology with associated functional improvements. J Neurosci. 2007 Aug 22;27(34):9115-29. PubMed PMID: 17715348.

Clavaguera F, Bolmont T, Crowther RA, Abramowski D, Frank S, Probst A, Fraser G, Stalder AK, Beibel M, Staufenbiel M, Jucker M, Goedert M, Tolnay M. Transmission and spreading of tauopathy in transgenic mouse brain. Nat Cell Biol. 2009 Jul;11(7):909-13. Epub 2009 Jun 7. PubMed PMID: 19503072; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC2726961

Frost B, Jacks RL, Diamond MI. Propagation of tau misfolding from the outside to the inside of a cell. J Biol Chem. 2009 May 8;284(19):12845-52. Epub 2009 Mar 11. PubMed PMID: 19282288; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC2676015.

What is your leading hypothesis?
APP dysfunction leading to amyloid formation occurs when Tau pathology is starting: there is a real sequence of events that needs to be solved.
