🧪 Overview

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).

⚖️ Evidence

⚖️ Evidence Matrix3 supports3 contradicts
Supports
p25/CDK5 hyperactivity drives tau hyperphosphorylation in AD
PMID:15745994
Supports
Exosome-mediated tau spread confirmed in human CSF
PMID:29072881

Contradicts
Dinaciclib is pan-CDK inhibitor (CDK1/2/5/9), not selective CDK5 inhibitor
PMID:26593258
Contradicts
CDK5 is essential for memory consolidation - chronic inhibition may impair cognition
