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 ...

Accumulation of the protein tau in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in Cell ...

A scientist looks at hypometabolic and hypoperfusion patterns at the single-subject level from a patient suffering from ...

A new study has uncovered why some brain cells are more resistant to Alzheimer’s damage than others. Researchers found a natural cleanup system that helps remove toxic tau protein before it can form ...

Researchers identify tanycytes as a critical mechanism for clearing toxic tau protein from the brain, offering a new target ...

Using rodent and cellular models, the researchers showed that tanycytes take up tau from the CSF and release it into ...

Scientists at the University of Kentucky have uncovered a new reason why people with Alzheimer's disease often struggle with sleep, long before memory loss begins. The study, led by researchers at the ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a potential new strategy to fight back against Alzheimer's and ...

The dementia associated Tau protein — known for its role in microtubule regulation — has now been found to also play important roles in the nerve signaling and mitochondrial function in the brain. A ...
