New research has revealed that the tau protein, which is important in the development of Alzheimers disease, is also involved in normal learning processes in the healthy brain, potentially providing a target for future drug therapies.

New research has revealed how the tau protein, a critical element in the formation of Alzheimers disease, is also involved in normal learning processes in the healthy brain, potentially providing a focal point for future drug therapies.

Study reveals how the Alzheimer's associated Tau protein changes from normal to a diseased state.

Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, currently has no cure or effective therapy, in part due to gaps in our understanding of how the progressive neurodegenerative disorder arises in the brain.

Australian researchers make breakthrough in studying Alzheimers disease-

Researchers have discovered how a protein that drives the development of Alzheimers disease turns into a disease state, offering hopes of a treatment. In a study published on Thursday, the team from Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia revealed how a protein called tau transforms to have toxic effects on brain cells.
