Neuronal activity induces CDK5-dependent tau phosphorylation and packaging into exosomes. Selective CDK5 inhibition prevents loading and reduces trans-synaptic tau spreading. Requires development of selective CDK5 inhibitors (not pan-CDK inhibitors like dinaciclib).
Genetic or pharmacologic NRF2 activation using CDDO-EA or sulforaphane upregulates ARE gene transcription (NQO1, HO-1, GCLM), restoring redox homeostasis impaired across major neurodegenerative diseases. Prioritized as most practical near-term opportunity due to multiple clinical-stage compounds and favorable risk profile.
Convergent vs Divergent Predictions
