Is it true that a study reported in September 2026 that human dementia-related proteins spread through mouse brains in a prion-like manner?
Unclear. Two items partially support the idea that dementia-related tau protein can spread in a prion-like manner in the brain, but neither reports a September 2026 study of human dementia-related proteins spreading through mouse brains.
