investigated whether altered tau proteins were an early indicator of AD, by measuring the concentrations of these proteins in multiple regions of the brains of people at different stages of dementia.

USC Stem Cell scientists discover a new way to rid cells of toxic tau protein in a study involving mice and lab-grown human “mini-brains,” known as organoids.

The study was published in the Alzheimer's & Dementia journal under the title "The TAU isoform 1N4R confers vulnerability of MAPT knockout human iPSC-derived neurons to amyloid beta and ...
