Buchholz, S., et al. (2025) The tau isoform 1N4R confers vulnerability of MAPT knockout human iPSC-derived neurons to amyloid beta and phosphorylated tau-induced neuronal dysfunction.
Tau tangles typically form years after the formation of another protein called amyloid, which creates plaques in the brain and is one of the first hallmarks of Alzheimer’s. The greater the ...
The blood-based test could speed development of anti-tau treatments for Alzheimer’s, since drug developers can fairly quickly determine whether a compound they are testing is having any effect ...
