University of New Mexico researchers have received funding to launch an early-stage clinical trial of a vaccine engineered to clear pathological tau protein from the brains of patients suffering from ...

Summary: New research uncovers how tau pathology spreads and damages synapses in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Using ...

UCSF researchers found the cancer drugs letrozole and irinotecan may reverse Alzheimer's effects, reducing tau protein clumps ...

Tsai's team, though, had already been studying the protein's role in Alzheimer's. In September of 2023, the team published an analysis of the brains of 427 people.

This graphene foam biosensor offers high sensitivity for tau protein detection, enabling early Alzheimer's diagnosis and ...

Preventing Tyr29 phosphorylation attenuates tau pathology, but TYK2 expression aggravates pathology in P301S mice. Credit: Nature Neuroscience (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41593-024-01777-2 ...

However, in stem-cell lead research conducted by USC, Stem Cell scientists have revealed a new way to remove toxic tau proteins and lower Alzheimer's risks. The tau protein, which, when it becomes ...

Researchers uncover a potential method for interrupting the misfolding of tau protein that underlies neurodegenerative disease Date: April 4, 2024 Source: University of California - Santa Barbara ...

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 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 ...

In cell cultures, A and F together better blocked tau uptake than did A alone, and this version, dubbed VXX-301, is now being evaluated in P301L mice. The company also intends to test a multivalent ...
