Some fish oil supplements may disrupt brain healing in people who have experienced repeated mild traumatic brain injuries, a ...

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 the ...

Higher vitamin D levels in early midlife are associated with lower tau deposition in later midlife among adults without dementia.

Tau made in the brain eventually shows up in blood, but scientists still aren’t sure how it gets there. Now, research featured in Cell Press Blue offers a new idea. This journal launched in January to ...

One of the main proteins that contributes to Alzheimer's disease is called phospho-tau (p-tau). When p-tau gets too many phosphate groups attached to it (a process called hyperphosphorylation), it ...

Researchers have identified OTULIN, an immune-regulating enzyme, as a key trigger of tau buildup in the brain. When OTULIN was disabled, tau vanished from neurons and brain cells remained healthy. The ...

Plasma pTau217 may detect initial buildup of AD-related brain changes before they can be detected by current ‘gold standard’ ...

A group of specialized cells play a crucial part in clearing toxic proteins from inside the brain 1. But in people with Alzheimer’s disease, these cells malfunction, leading to the build up of tau ...

A new study by investigators at Mass General Brigham has found that a blood test of plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (pTau217), an Alzheimer's disease biomarker, can predict the progression of amyloid ...

Can weight-loss drugs like semaglutide prevent Alzheimer's? New research reveals GLP-1 drugs reduce amyloid and tau proteins ...
