Introducing heterozygous humanized tau to AppNL-F/NL-F knock-in mice results in the first mouse model of Alzheimers disease in which age and amyloid-{beta} pathology interact to initiate neurofibrillary tau tangle pathology, not dependent on mutations in MAPT. Gradual progression from amyloid-{beta} to tau pathology in NLFTaum/h mice opens possibilities for understanding processes precipitating clinical stages of Alzheimers disease and development of translatable therapies to prevent the onset of tau pathology.
