The study reveals that CTE astroglial tau resembles aging-related pathology (4R-only) while neurofibrillary tangles resemble AD pathology (3R/4R mixed), but the mechanism driving this cell-type-specific divergence is unexplained. Understanding this could reveal fundamental principles of tau pathogenesis in traumatic injury.
