By Dennis Thompson HealthDay ReporterTUESDAY, Jan. 6, 2026 (HealthDay News) — A mail-in blood test accurately detects markers ...
A new study has somewhat redeemed the tau protein, which up to now has been associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Turns out, the protein has a ‘good guy’ role, helping to protect ...
Mapping Interactions of Alzheimer’s-related Tau Protein Reveals Pathway for New Potential Treatments
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 ...
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 ...
A spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are due to the accumulation of abnormal, ...
One of the biggest challenges in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) is how heterogeneous it is in terms of speed of decline ...
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 ...

Communication between tau and amyloid-β proteins found to mitigate Alzheimer's toxicity
An estimated 50 million people worldwide have dementia, with Alzheimer's disease—accounting for more than 70%—being the representative neurodegenerative brain disorder. A Korean research team has, for ...
Nautilus’ Iterative Mapping method enables single-molecule analysis of proteins and proteoforms and is designed to achieve comprehensive proteome coverage and detail at scale. The method empowers ...
Researchers have developed a nasal spray that could become a breakthrough treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and other potential neurodegenerative disorders. The new treatment would target the harmful ...
In a surprising discovery, University of New Mexico researchers have found that OTULIN – an enzyme that helps regulate the immune system – also drives ...
Prions transmit their abnormally folded shape onto other proteins. Researchers designed a synthetic fragment of the tau protein that exhibits prion-like behavior. Misfolded tau proteins are the ...
