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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

recognizes the PKA-dependent phosphorylation of ser409 in tau; immunoreactivity with neurofibrillary pathology in both early and advanced Alzheimer’s disease, but not in normal brain tissue; reacts ...

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 ...
