Untangling Tau: Molecular Insights into Neuroinflammation, Pathophysiology, and Emerging Immunotherapies
Open accessAbstract
Neuroinflammation, a core pathological feature observed in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), is rapidly gaining attention as a target in understanding the molecular underpinnings of these disorders. Glial cells, endothelial cells, peripheral immune cells, and astrocytes produce a variety of pro-inflammatory mediators that exacerbate the disease progression. Additionally, microglial cells play a complex role in AD, facilitating the clearance of pathological amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) plaques and aggregates of the tau protein. Tau proteins, traditionally associated with microtubule stabilization, have come under intense scrutiny for their perturbed roles in neurodegenerative conditions. In this narrative review, we focus on recent advances from molecular insights that have revealed aberrant tau post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation and acetylation, serving as pathological hallmarks. These modifications also trigger the activation of CNS-resident immune cells, such as microglia and astrocytes substantially contributing to neuroinflammation. This intricate relationship between tau pathologies and neuroinflammation fosters a cascading impact on neural pathophysiology. Furthermore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning tau’s influence on neuroinflammation presents a frontier for the development of innovative immunotherapies. Neurodegenerative diseases have been relatively intractable to conventional pharmacology using small molecules. We further comprehensively document the many alternative approaches using immunotherapy targeting tau pathological epitopes and structures with a wide array of antibodies. Clinical trials are discussed using these therapeutic approaches, which have both promising and disappointing outcomes. Future directions for tau immunotherapies may include combining treatments with Aβ immunotherapy, which may result in more significant clinical outcomes for neurodegenerative diseases.

Neuroinflammation exacerbates tau pathology, as activated microglia and astrocytes release cytokines that modulate kinase activity and impair clearance mechanisms.
“Neuroinflammation also exacerbates tau pathology, as activated microglia and astrocytes release cytokines that modulate kinase activity and impair clearance mechanisms [51].”
From Toward a Unified Framework in Molecular Neurobiology of Alzheimer’s Disease: Revisiting the Pathophysiological Hypotheses (2026) · cites this paper as [51]
Section 2 describes sustained cytokine release from activated glial cells, reduced clearance after prolonged microglial activation, tau aggregate propagation, and a possible contribution of astrocytes to tau hyperphosphorylation. Section 3.1 identifies kinases involved in tau phosphorylation, but the copy does not link cytokine release to altered kinase activity or establish that cytokines impair clearance.

MAMs house γ-secretase complexes containing presenilin-1 and -2, positioning them as key sites for APP processing.
“MAMs also house γ-secretase complexes containing presenilin-1 and −2, positioning them as key sites for APP processing [51].”
From Toward a Unified Framework in Molecular Neurobiology of Alzheimer’s Disease: Revisiting the Pathophysiological Hypotheses (2026) · cites this paper as [51]
The Introduction mentions APP and presenilin (PSEN1/2) only as genes associated with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Searches for MAMs, mitochondria-associated membranes, and γ-secretase found no passage about their location or role in APP processing; the cited paper therefore does not establish the attributed claim.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
