Alzheimer’s disease, a devastating neurodegenerative disorder, is closely linked to the accumulation of tau protein in the ...

A recent study by the University of Cologne has illuminated a specific tau protein's role in the progression of Alzheimer's ...

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.

Mar. 30, 2022 — In the course of Alzheimer's disease, two proteins called 'amyloid' and 'tau' accumulate in the brain. A new study with more than 200 participants now provides insights into the ...

Rather than looking for amyloid-beta plaques like many other Alzheimer's tests, this one hunts for tiny clumps of tau protein, which are more often associated with cognitive decline. The ...

They consist of aggregates of abnormally phosphorylated tau proteins that are altered in conformation. Conformational changes in tau proteins are thought to be the earliest neurobiological changes ...

Researchers from the Institut de Neurociències of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (INc-UAB) have found that tau protein and beta-amyloid – two pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease – ...

The study was focused on analyzing tau, a protein in the brain that plays a key role in Alzheimer's. In people with the neurological disease, tau proteins undergo chemical changes, forming tangled ...

Tau protein and beta-amyloid, key factors in Alzheimer's disease, impact brain circuits differently, with tau affecting memory-related areas and beta-amyloid influencing emotional centers.
