In Alzheimer's Disease and other neurodegenerative dementias, proteins that normally play a role in healthy brain tissue turn bad, clumping together to form insoluble plaques and tangles as neurons ...

Utilizing cutting-edge proteomics, researchers at the Buck Institute and elsewhere have mapped the “tau interactome” uncovering new findings about the role of tau in neurodegenerative disease.
Newly reported research headed by a team at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania points to a potential gene therapy approach to neurodegenerative disorders characterized ...
A review published in Genomic Psychiatry by Dr. Peng Lei and colleagues presents a sweeping synthesis of tau protein research that fundamentally reframes our understanding of this molecule's dual ...
Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders cause abnormal tau protein aggregation. Until recently, researchers have mostly focused on the phosphorylated form of tau for diagnosing and ...
Mutations in or mislocalization of RNA-binding proteins, such as TDP-43 and FUS, are linked to protein aggregation in frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Now, researchers led by ...
Phosphorylated tau isn’t just pathological junk; it helps the brain defend against viral infections. So claim scientists led by Rudolph Tanzi and William Eimer at Massachusetts General Hospital in ...
