Taking too long to enter the phase of sleep in which we dream may be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease. This is the ...

Exercise may positively influence the interactions between brain cells in the hippocampus, a brain region involved in ...

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that helps to stabilize the structure of neurons, specifically by supporting ...

Those with Alzheimer’s were more likely to have delayed REM sleep, and they also had higher levels of the toxic brain ...

Tau protein is a microtubule-associated protein (MAP) known to stabilize the internal structure of neurons, binding to microtubules. These are microscopic tubular structures that support the ...

A good night's sleep is critical as the brain consolidates information learnt during the day with previous knowledge before ...

The possibility that Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis is associated with viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites has been ...

This manuscript describes the identification and characterization of 12 specific phosphomimetic mutations in the recombinant full-length human tau protein that trigger tau to form fibrils. This ...

The current human tissue-based study provides convincing evidence correlating hippocampal expressions of RNA guanine-rich G-quadruplexes with aging and with Alzheimer's Disease presence and severity.

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 ...

They consist of aggregates of abnormally phosphorylated tau proteins that are altered in conformation. Conformational changes in tau proteins are thought to be the earliest neurobiological changes ...

Recent studies have shown that both the quality and the amount of sleep we get may influence our risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
