What determines the selectivity and efficiency of intercellular transmission pathways for different misfolded proteins?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

While the abstract establishes that intercellular transmission occurs for various proteins (tau, α-synuclein, TDP-43), the mechanisms governing transmission selectivity and efficiency remain poorly understood. This gap impedes development of transmission-blocking therapeutics. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Protein transmission in neurodegenerative disease.
