A molecule called glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) rose significantly in the blood of patients who underwent ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

“While most Alzheimer’s research has focused on the buildup of amyloid beta and tau, the polyGR proteins we’ve found in Alzheimer’s brains were unexpected and completely different,” said ...

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 ...
