The irregular buildup of tau protein in the brain can form “tangles,” which researchers link to several brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. This may have implications for ...

"Tau has long been known to be associated with neuronal dysfunction in the brain in Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders, but recent studies have shown that the protein also ...

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 ...

The tau protein, which, when it becomes toxic, can lead to memory loss and cognitive decline. Researchers are now focusing on two main strategies to combat tau buildup: enhancing the body's ...

Scientists at Northwestern University and University of California, Santa Barbara have created the first synthetic fragment of tau protein that acts like a prion. The “mini prion” folds and stacks ...

For the first time, University of Queensland (UQ) researchers have shown how the tau protein, known for its role in dementias, behaves where communication in the brain takes place. Martínez ...

July 6 (UPI) --A new study suggests how a protein called tau drives the development of Alzheimer's disease, and researchers anticipate this could lead to more targeted treatments and earlier ...

A study in mice found that the variant enhances the protein's ability to reduce tau tangles. Although the research focused on a single person, it reverberated through the world of brain science ...

A research team at the University of Cologne has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the role of the tau protein in Alzheimer's disease. Using human induced pluripotent stem cells ...

Until now, scientists did not fully understand what tau protein aggregates were doing in the brain's blood vessels.To uncover the mystery, Dr. Fossati and graduate student Roberto Guzmán ...
