PS exposure alone is insufficient for selective tau targeting; a dual-signal mechanism exists where externalized PS recruits microglia while exposed tau N-termini (truncated by caspases) serve as the specific eat-me signal. Therapeutic strategies should develop bispecific constructs recognizing both PS and specific tau neoepitopes simultaneously, avoiding off-target effects in stressed-but-non-tau tissues.

Tau cleavage by activated caspase-3 generates a membrane-binding C-terminal fragment that directly facilitates PS externalization, creating tau-specific find-me signal distinct from general apoptotic pathways. The caspase-cleaved tau fragment exhibits enhanced binding to inner leaflet phospholipids, disrupting membrane asymmetry preferentially in tau-bearing cells.
