Scientists at The Florey have developed an mRNA technology approach to target the toxic protein tau, which builds up in patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. To date, mRNA has been predominantly used for vaccines, including those used to fight COVID-19. New research published i...
Understanding Alzheimer’s: Amyloid-Beta and Tau Proteins Amyloid-beta and tau proteins have long been associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The pathological buildup of these proteins leads to cognitive decline in people with the disease. How it does that, though, remains poorly understood. ...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive, clinically heterogeneous, age-sensitive neurodegenerative disease, characterised by often escalating impairments of memory and other cognitive functions together with associated changes in personality and behaviour [1,2,3]. Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangl...
10. Protects against Alzheimer’s Intermittent fastinghas shown promise in protectingagainst Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by affecting several key pathways associated with neurodegeneration. One of the primary mechanisms is the enhancement of autophagy, whichhelps clearamyloid-beta plaques and tau tangles, ...
producing a fluorescent compound rapidly excreted in the urine. “And depending on the intensity of the signal in the urine, we can know the burden of senescent cells in the organism,” points out Isabel Fariñas of the UV and deputy director of CIBERNED, and researcher Mar Orzáez of th...

This review does not provide an exhaustive list of all the models, because they are too numerous; rather, it selects the most representative and recent models using the latest innovative technologies. 2. Molecular Features of Alzheimer’s Disease: Aβ Peptides and Tau Proteins Today, the ...
