Researchers at the University of Cologne reveal how the 1N4R tau isoform contributes to Alzheimer’s, paving the way for ...

Along with another protein, amyloid beta, tau can build up in the brain and disturb cell function. Irregular clumps of tau are called neurofibrillary tangles, which are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s.

Scientists from the University of Cologne identified the 1N4R tau isoform as a key contributor to neuronal dysfunction in ...
