Do senescent neurons become 'super-spreaders' of pathological tau through enhanced exosome production?

OPEN

The highest-ranked hypothesis proposed that senescent cells amplify tau propagation via exosomes, but this mechanistic link was not established in the literature cited. This represents a key gap connecting cellular senescence to protein aggregation diseases.
