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 ...

Herpesvirus infection may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease through transposable element activation and neuroinflammation.

Alzheimer’s disease, a devastating neurodegenerative disorder, is closely linked to the accumulation of tau protein in 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.

The buildup of knot-like RNA structures in brain cells may be the key to understanding how uncontrolled protein aggregation drives Alzheimer’s disease.

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

E1s and E2s first work generically across the cell to activate and prepare ubiquitin for attachment. E3 ligases then ensure that the tag is added to the right protein; as such, hundreds of specific ...

Alzheimer’s disease — which affects an estimated 7 million Americans — is notoriously difficult to detect, especially in its ...

this protein goes awry and develops into NFTs. Tau can become phosphorylated, meaning that phosphate groups are added to it. This is normal, but in the case of Alzheimer’s, the phosphorylation ...

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 ...
