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 ...

The scans are also expensive and not available at all hospitals. More sensitive ways to detect amyloid and tau, another protein related to the disease, are possible by analyzing spinal fluid ...

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 new study found having a father with the neurodegenerative disease may be tied to a greater spread of the tau protein in the brain that is a warning sign of Alzheimer's. It was also found that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abnormal accumulation of tau protein in the brain has been associated with neurodegeneration and cognitive decline in AD patients. BIIB080 is an investigational antisense oligonucleotide therapy ...

The study also showed that heavy drinkers are 41% more likely to have tau tangles, abnormal accumulations of the tau protein inside nerve cells, primarily found in the brains of people with ...
