Do small GTPases regulate tau clearance pathways similarly to their established role in amyloid β degradation?

OPEN

While small GTPases are known to play essential roles in autophagy and lysosomal degradation of amyloid β, their comparable function in tau clearance is unclear. This represents a critical gap for understanding differential protein aggregate handling in AD. Gap type: open_question Source paper: The role of small GTPases in Alzheimer's disease tau pathologies.
