For decades, the story of Alzheimer’s research has been dominated by a battle between amyloid-beta and tau amyloids, both of which can kill neurons and impact the brain’s abil ...

A surprising new study has uncovered over 200 misfolded proteins in the brains of aging rats with cognitive decline, beyond the infamous amyloid and tau plaques long blamed for Alzheimer’s. These ...

Summary: A new study questions whether playing youth football leads to harmful protein buildup in the brain. Researchers ...

Scientists at UCSF combined advanced brain-network modeling, genetics, and imaging to reveal how tau protein travels through ...

We spoke to the first author of a new study that could challenge much of what we thought we knew about Alzheimer’s disease.

There's still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease, but the link between poor sleep and worsening disease is one ...

It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known ...

Using brain gene expression maps from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the researchers tested the degree to which Alzheimer’s risk genes explain the patterns of both actual and residual tau. This allowed ...

It's been recognized for some time that Alzheimer's disease affects brain regions differently and that tau—a protein known to ...
