In Alzheimer's Disease and other neurodegenerative dementias, proteins that normally play a role in healthy brain tissue turn bad, clumping together to form insoluble plaques and tangles as neurons ...
The traditional view of tau is that of a rather dull microtubule-binding protein that occasionally goes rogue, wandering off into other cellular compartments where it stokes neurodegeneration. At ...

Utilizing cutting-edge proteomics, researchers at the Buck Institute and elsewhere have mapped the “tau interactome” uncovering new findings about the role of tau in neurodegenerative disease.
A review published in Genomic Psychiatry by Dr. Peng Lei and colleagues presents a sweeping synthesis of tau protein research that fundamentally reframes our understanding of this molecule's dual ...
Newly reported research headed by a team at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania points to a potential gene therapy approach to neurodegenerative disorders characterized ...
Phosphorylated tau isn’t just pathological junk; it helps the brain defend against viral infections. So claim scientists led by Rudolph Tanzi and William Eimer at Massachusetts General Hospital in ...
