New research by UCLA Health and UC San Francisco has uncovered why certain brain cells are more resilient than others to the buildup of a toxic protein that is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and ...

Tau protein aggregation is a shared feature in over 20 neurodegenerative diseases (collectively referred to as "tauopathies"). New research led by Boston Children's Hospital challenges the current ...

Stopping Alzheimer’s may begin with dissolving tiny tau protein clusters before damage takes hold.

Researchers found a "garbage man" enzyme that tags toxic clumps of proteins in the brain for removal, and saw a correlation ...

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

New research shows how some brain cells fight tau buildup in Alzheimer’s, pointing to internal systems that help neurons survive longer.

Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a hazardous waste collector in the brain that disposes of the toxic clumps of ...

Researchers have identified OTULIN, an immune-regulating enzyme, as a key trigger of tau buildup in the brain. When OTULIN ...

When OTULIN activity was blocked in cells, the researchers found that the level of a protein closely linked to Alzheimer's ...

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain.

Prions transmit their abnormally folded shape onto other proteins. Researchers designed a synthetic fragment of the tau protein that exhibits prion-like behavior. Misfolded tau proteins are the ...

For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe ...
