In a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, scientists explore how a brain protein called tau changes its behavior when a small chemical group called a phosphate attaches to ...

The irregular buildup of tau protein in the brain can form “tangles,” which researchers link to several brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. This may have implications for detecting and ...

With anti-amyloid antibodies now consistently hitting their target, tau immunotherapy represents the next frontier. In Alzheimer’s disease, tau tangles correlate far more closely with cognitive ...

Scientists have developed new potential therapies that selectively remove aggregated tau proteins, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease, and improve symptoms of neurodegeneration in mice. The ...

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive decline in mental functions and memory loss. Along with frontotemporal dementia and some other neurodegenerative ...
