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 ...

Neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are neurobiological lesions that are found in brain cells of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). They consist of aggregates of abnormally phosphorylated tau ...

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 essential for stabilizing microtubules, the structural components ... By identifying 1N4R tau as a key protein, we ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
