Mechanistic description
Dual transcription initiation codes controlling tau isoform expression
Debate provenance: derived from debate sess_sda-2026-04-01-gap-005 on question: PSP and CBD both involve 4R-tau but produce distinct neuropathological patterns (tufted astrocytes vs astrocytic plaques). Whether tau strains or regional cellular environments drive these differences is unresolved.. Consensus signal: clinical_trialist, computational_biologist, domain_expert, skeptic, synthesizer, theorist discussed the mechanism terms Control, MAPT, Transcriptional. Novelty signal: skeptic-discussed-with-qualified-concession.
