A comprehensive study of brain scans from more than 600 people has shed new light on the relationship between tau protein and amyloid-β, two central players in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease ...
One of the most difficult aspects of developing treatments for Alzheimer’s disease is understanding the mechanisms of neuron death amid amyloid plaques, tau tangles and other forms of toxicity ...
The Amyloid—Tangle Connection. Aβ aggregates (green) hyper-excite neurons in tau epicenters and connected regions, strengthening that connectivity. This pushes tau propagation from one region to ...
A prizewinner at Venice and Palm Springs, Bogdan Mureșanu's robust ensemble piece captures national unrest in the dying days of the Ceaușescu regime. "The New Year That Never Came" (Courtesy of ...
Scientists believe that Alzheimer’s is primarily caused by abnormal buildups of proteins in the brain, such as beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles. These proteins interfere with how brain cells ...
In AD, 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 the brain ...
