Abstract
Shi et al. find that microglia, instead of tau-induced direct neurotoxicity, are the driving force of neurodegeneration in a tauopathy mouse model. Microglia are also required for tau pathogenesis. In addition, apoE strongly regulates neurodegeneration in the setting of tauopathy predominantly by modulating microglial function.
