The study’s researchers scanned the brains of older women who have used HT, observing tau accumulation, a hallmark of Alzheimer disease.

Such tests are increasingly moving beyond their origins in cutting-edge research and into the laboratory and diagnostic ...

Women with high β-amyloid (Aβ) levels exhibit faster tau accumulation in key brain regions compared to men, potentially contributing to the higher prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in women.

The early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) through the detection of p-tau proteins in the blood is less disease-specific ...

Gene Hackman’s wife died of hantavirus, but could his own death be linked to infection? New research suggests infections may ...

Researchers indicate that the Lumipulse p-tau217 assay may reduce over 50% of lumbar punctures performed for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease.

The neurotransmitter glutamate is essential for regulating everything from mood to memory, but it can also encourage a toxic buildup of protein, which can contribute to Alzheimer's and related ...

Herpesvirus infection may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease through transposable element activation and neuroinflammation.

Hormone therapy has indirect effect on cognitive decline through regional tau accumulation; no links with tau for women younger than 70 years ...

Tau pathology is widely considered to be downstream of Aβ pathology and is linked more closely to cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease. Mutations in the tau gene cause frontotemporal dementia, ...

An international team of researchers, led by Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, has conducted a ...
