Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...
We spoke to the first author of a new study that could challenge much of what we thought we knew about Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers have discovered that newborns have high levels of the tau protein, which is elevated in older people with ...
It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to ...
Summary: A new study questions whether playing youth football leads to harmful protein buildup in the brain. Researchers ...
Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...
There's still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease, but the link between poor sleep and worsening disease is one ...
Alzheimer’s-Linked Protein Levels “20 Times Higher” In Newborn Babies – What Does This Mean? We spoke to the first author of a new study that could challenge much of what we thought we ...
USC researchers have found a promising new brain scan marker that could better detect Alzheimer’s risk — but only for some.
For decades, the story of Alzheimer's research has been dominated by a battle between A-beta and tau amyloids, both of which ...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder marked primarily by β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition and abnormal ...
