A research team at the University of Cologne has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the role of the tau protein ...

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 ...

Human stem cells reveal new insights into Alzheimer's, unlocking potential breakthroughs in understanding and treating the ...

Rather than looking for amyloid-beta plaques like many other Alzheimer's tests, this one hunts for tiny clumps of tau protein, which are more often associated with cognitive decline. The ...

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

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 ...

Researchers from the Institut de Neurociències of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (INc-UAB) have found that tau protein and beta-amyloid – two pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease – ...

Mar. 30, 2022 — In the course of Alzheimer's disease, two proteins called 'amyloid' and 'tau' accumulate in the brain. A new study with more than 200 participants now provides insights into the ...
