    Tau hyperphosphorylation impairs cooperative binding to microtubules and perturbs organelle trafficking in neurons

    Daniel Beaudet, Christopher L Berger, Adam G Hendricks
    Single-molecule motility assays and live-cell imaging in neurons reveal that tau hyperphosphorylation disrupts the formation of cooperative tau envelopes along microtubules and lysosomal transport.
