To date, approaches to treatments for Alzheimer's disease have not addressed the contribution of protein insolubility as a general phenomenon, instead focusing on one or two insoluble proteins.

When two defective gene variants combine, normal protein function can sometimes be restored.

Have we been wrong about what causes Alzheimer's disease? New research suggests yes. For years, the leading theory for the cause of this neurodegeneration was the accumulation of abnormal proteins in ...

The first synthetic fragment of tau protein has been created, revealing more about the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers at Northwestern University (IL, USA) and the ...

A study published in the journal Brain shows that increases in protein levels with new Alzheimer's drugs can explain the slowing of cognitive impairment at least as well as the reduction in amyloid ...

The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. But to the human eye, proteins that are ...

The consequence of low blood protein depends on how low the protein becomes, which protein is low, and the cause of the low protein. Having a correct level of protein in the blood is essential for ...

Reducing RAD23A levels helped nerve cells better handle toxic TDP-43 protein clumps, improving survival and function in an ALS mouse model.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Overweight and obese adults who are losing weight with a high-protein diet are more likely to sleep better, according to new research from Purdue University. "Most research ...
