Healthy astrocytes secrete neuroprotective factors via extracellular vesicles (EVs), with HepaCAM representing a critical EV cargo protecting against excitotoxic motor neuron death. Inflammatory cytokines disrupt astrocyte exosomal HepaCAM packaging, releasing EVs that instead promote neuronal vulnerability.

# LRP1-Dependent Tau Uptake Disruption in Tauopathic Neurodegeneration ## Background and Rationale The progressive spreading of hyperphosphorylated tau pathology throughout the brain represents a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies, including progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and frontotemporal lobar degeneration with tau inclusions. Central to this spreading mechanism is the intercellular transfer of pathological tau species, wherein diseased neuro
