Cofactor-Free Tau Filaments Are Dynamic and Undergo Structural Evolution Driven by Thermodynamic Control
Environmental factors, such as mechanical stress and/or polyanions, play an important role in promoting the thermodynamic stability of otherwise dynamic tau fibrils, and it is speculated that, in patients, such factors might contribute to the maturation of disease-specific conformers.
