Our in vivo evaluation of positron emission tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging data supported the amyloid cascade hypothesis. In addition, it indicated that Aβ not only accelerates tau aggregation/neuroinflammation but promotes its toxicity. Our findings showed the importance of understanding the role and therapeutic potential of the interaction between amyloid and tau aggregation/neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease.
