The prevalence of LATE increases significantly in individuals over 80 years old [1] and the average patient with LATE is ten years older than the average patient with Alzheimer's disease, suggesting that aging-related biological processes—yet to be comprehensively identified (but which include TMEM106B C-terminal fragments [28] [29])—play ...
