MAPT regulates autophagic-lysosomal function and phagocytosis in human microglia

Tauopathies are characterized by the accumulation and spread of pathogenic tau aggregates throughout the brain, a process that is increasingly recognized to involve not only neurons but also microglia. However, whether pathogenic MAPT directly alters microglial degradative capacity remains poorly understood. Here, usin...
