Tau is essential for stabilizing microtubules, the structural components ... By identifying 1N4R tau as a key protein, we have discovered a potential new target for future treatments.” ...

Microtubules provide structural support to neurons and microtubule stability is regulated through association with a protein known as tau. Tau is expressed in the central nervous system (CNS ...

Tau is a protein that is found in cells of the central nervous system and is involved in the assembly and stabilisation of neuronal microtubules – channels used to transport substances to ...

University of New Mexico Health Sciences researchers hope to launch human clinical trials in their quest for a vaccine to prevent the buildup of pathological tau -- a protein in the brain ...

Phosphorylation enables tau protein to undergo reversible liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), forming micrometer-sized droplets, a property not seen in unmodified tau.

But now, Canadian scientists say children who have Dad's with Alzheimer's are more prone to one toxic protein, tau, spreading in the brain. Significant clumps of this protein, as well as anothe ...

Tau is a protein that builds up and moves between nerve cells in the brains of people living with Alzheimer’s disease, causing damage. Professor Mudher is using clever genetic manipulation in fruit ...

They found that levels of a protein called MTBR-tau243 correlate to the amount of tau that has accumulated in the brain, according to a WashU press release. Accuracy compared to brain scans was 92%.

The study also showed that female participants may be more at risk of a heavier buildup of tau protein than male participants. "We were surprised to see that people with a father with Alzheimer's ...
