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 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 ...

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.

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

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

A special edition of the journal Science focuses on women's health, including links between estrogen and dementia, at a time ...

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, ...
