Tau pulls the plug on the neural activity that forms memories, according to researchers led by Marc Aurel Busche at the U.K. Dementia Research Institute at University College London. On April 23 in ...

They investigated the role of bassoon on tau through mouse and drosophila (fruit flies) models as well as human cell and human brain samples. "The major novelty of this study is that we were the first ...

Creating models for primary tauopathies sounds simple enough. Select a human tau gene variant that causes disease, stick it where the endogenous mouse gene sits in its genome, then wait a few months ...

Scientists at Northwestern University and University of California, Santa Barbara have created the first synthetic fragment of tau protein that acts like a prion. The "mini prion" folds and stacks ...

Researchers at LMU Munich have developed the first human cell model to accurately mimic the adult brain's tau protein mutations linked to Alzheimer's and other dementias. The model overcomes ...
