Tau is a protein that builds up and moves between nerve cells in the brains of people living with Alzheimer’s disease, causing damage. Professor Mudher is using clever genetic manipulation in fruit ...

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 ...

Phosphorylation enables tau protein to undergo reversible liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), forming micrometer-sized droplets, a property not seen in unmodified tau.

Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are neurobiological lesions that are found in brain cells of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). They consist of aggregates of abnormally phosphorylated tau ...

But now, Canadian scientists say children who have Dad's with Alzheimer's are more prone to one toxic protein, tau, spreading in the brain. Significant clumps of this protein, as well as anothe ...

The study also showed that female participants may be more at risk of a heavier buildup of tau protein than male participants. “We were surprised to see that people with a father with Alzheimer ...
