Tau proteins play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Tau helps to stabilize neurons in the brain, but in Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons. These tangles ...

Tau proteins act like the brain's maintenance crew, helping maintain the structure and proper function of brain cells. In ...

Women exhibited greater tau accumulation than men in four key regions involved in early and later stages of tau spread: the ...

A researcher with the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio has ...

Plasma brain-derived Tau is quantified using a novel luminescence immunoassay, demonstrating improved sensitivity for ...

Targeting OTULIN has proven to eliminate toxic tau proteins in human neurons for the first time, opening a new avenue for treating dementia.

Researchers have discovered that newborns have high levels of the tau protein, which is elevated in older people with Alzheimer’s disease, but that it causes them no harm. The discovery opens the door ...

This Review summarizes our current understanding of the mechanisms of tau-mediated neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. It is believed that tau-mediated neurodegeneration ...

Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.
