"This argues that mutations in Tau may reduce the protein's normal ability to prevent ... this study demonstrates that Tau ...

Tau is a protein that builds up and moves between nerve cells in the brains of people living with Alzheimer’s disease, causing damage. Professor Mudher is using clever genetic manipulation in fruit ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed two new imaging agents that work better than the only currently approved one for detecting tau ...

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 ...

An earlier research has found a link between less good quality, slow-wave sleep and elevated levels of tau tangles and amyloid-beta protein. In this latest study, Lucey and colleagues wanted to ...
