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 ...

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

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

A team of researchers has discovered that a protein called cypin plays a powerful role in helping brain cells connect and ...

Findings suggest that Alzheimer’s risk genes drive tau buildup and spread through both network-based and independent mechanisms.

For decades, the story of Alzheimer's research has been dominated by a battle between A-beta and tau amyloids, both of which ...

Alzheimer’s disease continues to rise as one of the most pressing health challenges facing aging populations today. It ...

Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

Roche has been attempting to develop an Alzheimer's drug for some time, and its first attempts with two other anti-amyloid antibodies – crenezumab and gantenerumab – ended in failure.
