Target VDAC1's interaction with tau (score: 0.963) to prevent mitochondrial dysfunction-induced tau release. Develop VDAC1 modulators that maintain mitochondrial integrity while blocking pathological tau translocation across mitochondrial membranes, reducing both tau propagation and neuronal vulnerability.

Engineer modified APOE variants or small molecules that enhance APOE's interaction with tau (score: 0.879) to promote tau clearance via glial uptake pathways. Target the amyloid-beta complex pathway where both APOE and MAPT are enriched to simultaneously clear tau and reduce amyloid burden.
