Tau protein is a microtubule-associated protein, widely present in the central nervous system. It plays a key role in maintaining and regulating the structure and function of neurons. In ...

One of the biggest challenges in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) is how heterogeneous it is in terms of speed of decline ...

The dementia associated Tau protein — known for its role in microtubule regulation — has now been found to also play important roles in the nerve signaling and mitochondrial function in the brain. A ...

A spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are due to the accumulation of abnormal, ...

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 ...

Alzheimer's disease is one of the world’s most prevalent brain disorders, being extremely difficult to treat. Alzheimer's affects millions of people globally, making it one of the most common ...
