Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that helps to stabilize the structure of neurons, specifically by supporting ...

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 authors present new expression analysis software (TEKRABber) to help analyze expression correlations between transposable elements (TEs) and KRAB zinc finger (KRAB-ZNF) genes in experimentaly ...

This is compared to approximately 3 billion base pairs on the human genome. Function: Mitochondrial DNA is crucial for the production of proteins involved in the electron transport chain and ATP ...

A study conducted by researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology has uncovered a pivotal role of asparagine metabolism in regulating B cell homeostasis and immune response. Germinal ...

Proteins, the essential molecular machinery of life, play a central role in numerous biological processes. Decoding their intricate sequence, structure, and function (SSF) is a fundamental pursuit in ...

In their research published in Cell Reports, Shemesh and his international team discovered that when HSV-1 infects brain cells, it triggers an immune response involving a key protein called tau ...

In their research published in Cell Reports, Shemesh and his international team discovered that when HSV-1 infects brain cells, it triggers an immune response involving a key protein called tau — the ...

Their new research has also revealed how tau protein may initially protect the brain from the virus but later contributes to brain damage. The findings are published in Cell Reports in an article ...

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 ...
