The abstract challenges the rationale for using microtubule-stabilizing drugs in tau diseases, since tau appears to destabilize rather than stabilize microtubules. This paradigm shift has immediate implications for therapeutic development but requires validation. Gap type: open_question Source paper: Tau: It's Not What You Think.
