Tau interferes with axonal neurite stabilization and cytoskeletal composition independently of its ability to associate with microtubules
Tau impacts overall axonal transport particularly when overexpressed by interfering with translocation of kinesin along microtubules (MTs) and/or as a cargo of kinesin by outcompeting other kinesin cargo. To discern between which of these mechanisms was more robust during axonal outgrowth, we overex...
