Monomeric soluble tau does not induce PS exposure; PS externalization specifically occurs when tau undergoes liquid-to-solid phase transition (condensate formation or fibrillization). This aggregate-state specifically alters membrane curvature and local lipid organization, triggering scramblase recruitment. This explains why early tau pathology may not show PS exposure.

Different brain regions exhibit varying microglial PS-receptor expression profiles (e.g., higher CX3CR1+ microglia in hippocampus with more efficient PS clearance). Tau pathology in regions with lower PS-sensing capacity leads to accumulation of PS-exposed neurons, explaining regional vulnerability patterns. Selectivity derives from region-specific microglial states.
