HSV-1 is a common virus. During infection, its DNA incorporates into host chromosomes, where it lies dormant. An estimated two-thirds of adults worldwide carry these latent HSV-1 genes. Previous work ...
Revised guidelines for amyloid and tau positron emission tomography for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia state these tests ...
This study showed, using a variety of techniques, that HSV-1 proteins are indeed present in brain samples from Alzheimer's patients and in organoid models of the disease. Aberrant tau proteins, which ...
Scientists have visualized the detailed structure of protein clumps linked to Huntington's disease, offering critical ...
This study examined whether sex, age, microglial activation or ApoE4 modulates the Aβ to p-tau axis, a critical event in the ...
AlphaFold solved a structural biology riddle: predicting protein structure. And yet, CASP, a global competition born to solve ...
Research shows 60% of missense mutations destabilize proteins, linking protein folding to genetic diseases, including ...
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited disorder in which the nerve cells in parts of the brain gradually break down and ...
In green - herpes virus proteins. In red - Alzheimer’s tau. And also a merge image on the right. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to ...
Their study suggests that the tau protein, typically seen as detrimental, might initially act as a defensive mechanism in the brain. This groundbreaking finding opens up new possibilities for ...
