A decade after scientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT first began testing whether sensory ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne reveal how the 1N4R tau isoform contributes to Alzheimer’s, paving the way for ...

Wax melts and other scented products release terpenes, the chemical compounds responsible for their scents. Since wax melts contain a higher concentration of fragrance oils than many candles ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
