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

Boosting the brain’s sugar-clearing switch cuts toxic buildup and may explain why fasting looks good for memory.

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

Newborns exhibit high levels of p-tau217, a protein linked to Alzheimer's disease. This unexpected finding challenges its ...

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 ...

Mice whose kidney nerves were cut did not develop brain pathology even after receiving direct kidney injections of toxic alpha-synuclein.

Remarkable new findings about the sugar stores in neurons have unlocked an entire new method of treating Alzheimer's disease ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising sugar-related mechanism inside brain cells that could transform how we fight Alzheimer’s and other dementias. It turns out neurons don’t just store sugar for ...

Researchers have discovered that newborns have high levels of the tau protein, which is elevated in older people with ...

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

It’s been recognized for some time that Alzheimer’s disease affects brain regions differently and that tau — a protein known to misbehave — plays an important role in the disease. Normally, tau helps ...

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