What to keep in mind. Like we mentioned, nutritional value isn’t the end-all-be-all of fast-food decision-making, but it is a major piece of the puzzle. To that end, you’ll want to shoot for ...

The tau protein plays a crucial role in stabilizing neurons. However, when it undergoes phosphorylation, it becomes pathological, contributing to the formation of the characteristic tangles seen in ...

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 ...

Tau is an intraneuronal, microtubule-associated protein, which can be released when there is neuronal damage, and also plays a more specific role in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative ...

New data presented at AD/PD™ 2023 show Biogen’s BIIB080 (MAPT ASO) substantially reduced tau protein levels in patients with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. News release. Biogen. March 29 ...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to BIIB080 for the treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD). Abnormal accumulation of tau protein in the brain has been ...

USC Stem Cell scientists discover a new way to rid cells of toxic tau protein in a study involving mice and lab-grown human “mini-brains,” known as organoids.

Total p-tau (t-tau) measures all isoforms of p-tau, regardless of phosphorylation state; therefore, is not specific to AD. In fact, elevated t-tau levels can be observed in other conditions involving ...

Scientists have developed a new drug that targets two key regions of the tau protein, a major contributor to Alzheimer’s disease. The drug, a peptide inhibitor called RI-AG03, successfully ...
