## Mechanistic Overview
Tau fibrils expose neuronal phosphatidylserine and heat-shock protein 70, driving microglial non-complement synaptic engulfment in primary tauopathies starts from the claim that modulating Phosphatidylserine, TIMD4, HSPA1A/HSPA1B, SCARF1, LRP8 within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview Tau fibrils expose neuronal phosphatidylserine and heat-shock protein 70, driving micr
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The complement cascade represents a critical innate immune system that, when dysregulated in the central nervous system, drives pathological synaptic elimination in Alzheimer's disease through a well-characterized molecular pathway. The initiation begins when amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers and fibrillar aggregates bind to pattern recognition receptors on microglial cells, including Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), CD36, and receptor for advanced glycation end product
