Flagship Pioneering has unveiled a new start-up that aims to find, then drug, targets that are specific to different states of diseases. The company, Etiome, will begin with metabolic, ...

Dementia biomarkers -- phosphorylated tau (P-tau181), neurofilament light (NfL), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) - ...

A long-term study reveals how age, sex, genetics, and menopause influence blood biomarkers related to dementia. The study ...

ARUP Laboratories has introduced a blood test for phosphorylated tau 217 (pTau 217) to aid in diagnosing the pathology of ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A new study reveals how age, sex, menopause, and genetics influence key blood biomarkers linked to dementia risk.

Those findings were integrated with data collected from the participants on cerebrospinal fluid and brain-scan biomarkers of amyloid- β and tau protein, cognitive function, age, sex and Alzheimer ...

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 ...
