Transient Aβ exposure induces dendritic tau missorting that then converts into a locally self-propagating tau oligomer/seeding program. After verified Aβ clearance, continued degeneration is driven by tau seed formation, templated misfolding, and trans-synaptic spread rather than by ongoing amyloid signaling.
## Mechanistic Overview
Glymphatic-Mediated Tau Clearance Dysfunction starts from the claim that modulating MAPT within the disease context of neuroscience can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview Glymphatic-Mediated Tau Clearance Dysfunction starts from the claim that modulating MAPT within the disease context of neuroscience can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Molecular Mechanism and Rationale The

Below the central skeptical point applies to all seven: current literature strongly supports that Aβ can induce dendritic/somatodendritic tau missorting and synaptic toxicity, but it does **not** clea...

Most investable survivors are `6 > 4 > 1 > 2`. I would not spend serious translational budget yet on `7`, and I would treat `3` and `5` as modifier mechanisms rather than lead programs.
