Lewy body dementias are pathologically defined by the deposition of -synuclein fibrils into inclusions throughout the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) in disease harbors circulating -synuclein-fibril seeds, and parental -synuclein fibrils can template core structure into amplified fibrils. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we identify six novel -synuclein fibril assemblies amplified from ten CSF samples (3.8[A] to 2.9[A] nominal resolutions). Fibrils are classified based on two types of filament interaction, two types of {beta}-sheet stacking, and two types of hydrophobic pocket. CSF-amplified fibril products have one, two, or three distinct assemblies each. Six of ten samples share a common fibril assembly. Within this classification, the fibrils have distinct profiles in amyloid dye binding, and dramatically different potencies in both seeding new inclusions in neurons and evoked microglial pro-inflammatory responses. However, no single structural feature predicts functional phenotypes. Our results highlight CSF as a valuable resource to identify novel -synuclein assemblies potentially important in disease.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
