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

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

In the February 10 Nature Medicine, scientists led by Jorge Llibre-Guerra and Randall Bateman at Washington University, St.

They found a core element of the protein that plays a primary role in tangle formation: an amino acid sequence called ...

Neurogeneticists have discovered a novel genetic mutation and associated buildup of toxic proteins in the brain -- a type of buildup distinct from amyloid or tau, proteins that have long been the ...

Hyderabad: The Cyberabad traffic police on Saturday night apprehended 368 drunk drivers, of whom 308 were riding two-wheelers. Another 46 were driving four-wheelers, 12 were handling three ...

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.

Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, formed by the accumulation of tau protein into fibrillar structures. These tangles, composed of paired helical filaments and ...
