A new biomarker test can detect early-stage tau protein clumping up to a decade before it appears on brain scans, improving ...

Researchers have developed a test that spots early signs of Alzheimer's disease. Rather than looking for amyloid-beta plaques ...

In the latest study, researchers used biochemical and molecular biology techniques to identify a core sequence of tau protein, called tau258-368, which is crucial for NFT formation. Within this ...

Researchers develop early Alzheimers diagnostic method using tau protein analysis Advancements in Alzheimers detection reveal early risks through tau protein mutations ...

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.

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 ...

The variant causes a person's brain to accumulate beta amyloid and phosphorylated tau proteins, the hallmarks of Alzheimer's. When Whitney turned 60 and still had no symptoms, he assumed he didn't ...

In the January 15 Neuron, researchers led by Seong Kang at Emory University, Atlanta, and Keqiang Ye at Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, China, report that ApoE3Ch also binds tau directly ...

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 ...

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 ...

They found a core element of the protein that plays a primary role in tangle formation: an amino acid sequence called tau258-368. This sequence is identifiable in "clumping-prone" tau proteins up ...
