The second part of the project will look at how easily different types of tau protein might jump between nerve cells. How will this project help people with dementia? Knowing more about how tau can ...

High levels of “hidden” fat known as visceral fat may put you at higher risk for Alzheimer’s disease up to two decades before ...

Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are neurobiological lesions that are found in brain cells of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). They consist of aggregates of abnormally phosphorylated tau ...

The new research also found that tau protein in the brain, considered a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, may initially play a protective role against viral infections. “Identifying health conditions ...

Tau is a protein that is found in cells of the central nervous system and is involved in the assembly and stabilisation of neuronal microtubules – channels used to transport substances to ...

The study results are published today in Cell Reports. The study also revealed how tau protein, often viewed as harmful in Alzheimer's, might initially protect the brain from the virus but ...

This manuscript describes the identification and characterization of 12 specific phosphomimetic mutations in the recombinant full-length human tau protein that trigger tau to form fibrils. This ...

The study results are published today in Cell Reports. The study also revealed how tau protein, often viewed as harmful in Alzheimer's, might initially protect the brain from the virus but ...

Repeated head injuries suffered by sports players and military personnel — a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease — may ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, and researchers now attribute its symptoms to the deposition of tau amyloid fibrils. Although scientists developed many ...
