A decade after scientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT first began testing whether sensory ...
A molecule called glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) rose significantly in the blood of patients who underwent ...
Alzheimer’s disease, a devastating neurodegenerative disorder, is closely linked to the accumulation of tau protein in the ...
Rather than looking for amyloid-beta plaques like many other Alzheimer's tests, this one hunts for tiny clumps of tau protein ...
Two main protein structures are associated with ... Studies show that increased levels of hyperphosphorylated tau are associated with worse cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
We examined acetylcholinesterase, plasma neuronal proteins, secreted beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP), and amyloid-beta 40 and amyloid-beta 42 peptides in children with and without autism.
Scientists have identified a biomarker for Alzheimer's that may help doctors spot the early signs of protein buildup in the ...
“This study demonstrated the extracellular presence of full-length or almost full-length hyperphosphorylated tau in AD. This suggests that passive immunization with tau antibodies is a viable ...
June 15, 2021 — A new therapy prompts immune defense cells to swallow misshapen proteins, amyloid beta plaques and tau tangles, whose buildup is known to kill nearby brain cells as part of ...
