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 ...

A team of researchers from the University of Cologne has made an important contribution to understanding the role of the tau ...

Researchers have identified a specific form of the tau protein that is responsible for mediating the toxicity of harmful protein clumps in human neurons and thus represents a target for future treatme ...

Research from Rutgers Health indicates that blood tests for Alzheimer's disease need to be interpreted with ...

Alzheimer’s research has long focused on two harmful proteins, amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau, which build up in the brain and are thought to drive the disease. However, in some cases, the severity ...

Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve their mature functional (native) tertiary structure, and often begins co-translationally. Protein folding requires chaperones and often ...

Detecting toxic forms of tau before they weave into dense thickets of tangles could pave the way for earlier diagnosis and treatment of tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease. In the February 10 ...

On the left side is a dendrogram representing protein clustering, and on the right side are the names of the proteins. The closer 2 protein branches are, the more similar their expression levels; the ...

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 ...
