Imagine the magnificent glaciers of Greenland, the eternal snow of the Tibetan high mountains, and the permanently ice-cold ...

A new study by University of Bath scientists has highlighted two new potential families of drug molecules that could open the ...

Although scientists have made significant progress in understanding the disease, there’s still no cure. That’s partly because ...

When proteins are made in a cell, they start out as strings of amino acids, which have to be folded into the correct, 3D ...

Two proteins which are widely believed to play central roles in Alzheimer's disease are amyloid-beta and tau. Amyloid-beta forms sticky plaques ... which rely on amyloid assemblies (similar in ...

Helicobacter pylori, best known for causing stomach ulcers, was shown to block the build-up of both amyloid-beta and tau in ...

In addition to its effects on tau, lemborexant appeared to protect the brain’s structure and ... looked at downstream molecular pathways. They found that lemborexant reduced levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP ...

Tau is a flexible protein that stabilizes the internal structure of neurons and supports intracellular transport. 1 When dysregulated, tau becomes prone to misfolding and aggregation, driving a class ...

The test could help identify one key Alzheimer's biomarker, tau protein, before it shows up in brain. Here's what experts say and what they know about tau.

A new study has somewhat redeemed the tau protein, which up to now has been associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Turns out, the protein has a ‘good guy’ role, helping to ...
