How do harmful proteins accumulate in Alzheimer's and other diseases?
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Under normal conditions, tau protein is a vital component of the brain's infrastructure, helping to stabilise neurons into their appropriate forms. However, tau can become tangled and toxic, harming brain tissue and generating tauopathies, a category of brain illnesses characterised by diffi

Loss of neurons makes Alzheimer's patients drowsy: Study
Updated : 3 years, 11 months ago IST
San Francisco (California) [US], April 5 (ANI): According to a recent study, the drowsiness that many Alzheimer's patients experience are caused not by a lack of sleep, but rather by the degeneration of a type of neuron that keeps us awake. It also confirmed that the tau protein is behind th
