TREM2 and microglia exosomes: a potential highway for pathological tau

Abstract Tau pathology appears to spread along neuronal networks via the template misfolding of tau by pathological tau conformations. The mechanisms underlying neuron-to-neuron transmission of tau are unclear and recent work demonstrates a role for microglia in the spread of tau pathology. In this...
