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.

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 ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to ...

A surprising new study has uncovered over 200 misfolded proteins in the brains of aging rats with cognitive decline, beyond the infamous amyloid and tau plaques long blamed for Alzheimer’s. These ...

Researchers have discovered that newborns have high levels of the tau protein, which is elevated in older people with ...

There's still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease, but the link between poor sleep and worsening disease is one ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau - a protein known ...

New research has found that plaques are not the main cause of Alzheimer’s disease, but rather the protein tau, also known as “tangles.” “For a very long time, we believed, for almost 100 ...

Research into Alzheimer's disease has long focused on understanding the role of two key proteins, beta amyloid and the tau protein. Found in tangles in patients' brain tissue, a pathological form ...

A harmful form of the tau protein, which builds up in Alzheimer's disease and similar brain disorders, can directly damage blood vessels in the brain, according to a new study by researchers at ...
