Do tau strains or regional cellular environments primarily drive PSP vs CBD pathological differences?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

The core debate question remains unresolved - whether intrinsic tau conformational strains or local brain microenvironments determine distinct astrocytic pathology patterns. This fundamental mechanistic gap prevents rational therapeutic targeting of tauopathies. Source: Debate session sess_sda-2026-04-01-gap-005 (Analysis: sda-2026-04-01-gap-005)
