Chemists have determined the structure of the fuzzy coat that surrounds tau proteins. Learning more about this structure could help scientists find ways to block tau from forming tangles in the brains ...

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental functions and memory loss ...

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain. The more severe the clumping, the more advanced the disease is. The Tau ...

A fragile cleanup system sitting on the surface of brain cells may help explain one of Alzheimer’s disease’s oldest mysteries ...

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain. The more severe the clumping, the more advanced the disease is. The Tau ...

Scientists at Northwestern University and University of California, Santa Barbara have created the first synthetic fragment of tau protein that acts like a prion. The "mini prion" folds and stacks ...

The first synthetic fragment of tau protein has been created, revealing more about the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers at Northwestern University (IL, USA) and the ...

A review published in Genomic Psychiatry by Dr. Peng Lei and colleagues presents a sweeping synthesis of tau protein research that fundamentally reframes our understanding of this molecule's dual ...

An international team of researchers led by Lancaster University has made a promising breakthrough in the development of drugs to treat Alzheimer's Disease. For the first time, scientists have ...
