Description
While the authors hypothesize endosomal release of tau peptides from AD synapses and demonstrate increased tau release upon depolarization, the specific endosomal pathways and regulatory mechanisms remain unexplored. This knowledge gap limits understanding of how tau pathology spreads trans-synaptically in AD.
