In December 2021, researchers from Harvard University and Boston University’s CTE ... this tau protein — which is detectable only during post-mortem exams — appears as brown “tangles ...

CTE, a progressive neurodegenerative disease often linked to contact sports, has long been characterized by tau protein accumulation in the brain, and computer models have suggested that the base ...

Most recently, an autopsy study detected amyloid plaques and tau tangles in several clinical syndromes, including those not typically associated with Alzheimer's disease, like frontotemporal dementia.

In Alzheimer's, the protein runs amok, forming tangles that have been linked to cell damage and neuronal death. Tau tangles are one of the characteristic hallmarks of Alzheimer's visible in the ...

In Alzheimer’s the protein goes haywire, forming tangles that have been linked to cell damage and neuronal death. Tau tangles are one of the characteristic hallmarks of Alzheimer’s visible in ...
