A new biomarker test can detect early-stage tau protein clumping up to a decade before it appears on brain scans, improving ...

Years before tau tangles show up in brain scans of patients with Alzheimer's disease, a biomarker test developed at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine can detect small amounts of the ...

The presence of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain is one of the key hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. These irregular clumps of protein are closely associated with disease progression.

Detecting toxic forms of tau before they weave into dense thickets of tangles could pave the way for earlier diagnosis and ...

Two main protein structures are associated with Alzheimer’s disease: amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs).

A Potential Solution for Neurodegenerative Diseases. Open Access Library Journal, 12, 1-16. doi: 10.4236/oalib.1112714 . Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), a complex neurodegenerative condition, significantly ...

A new biomarker test identifies very early stages of tau tangle formation, up to a decade before any tau clumps can show up ...
