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 ...

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

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. Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) ...

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 ...

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

Scientists know that a build-up of specific proteins in the brain is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. However, by the time these proteins have become visible in brain scans, disease ...

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.

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 ...

A good snack will contain at least some protein to keep you full, staving off hunger until your next meal. That’s according to Mary Wirtz, RDN, a Colorado-based nutritional consultant at Mom ...

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 ...

There are many high-protein vegetables you can add to your diet. Protein is needed to build and maintain healthy muscles, bones, and skin. Animal products are not the only high-protein food ...
