In the healthy brain, Tau proteins bind to microtubules and help to stabilize them. The protein contains four repeating subunits, each slightly different, known as R1, R2, R3, and R4. In the brains of people wit

(1)推理判断题。根据第二段The brain science behind Alzheimer's is complex,but CT and MRI scans suggest that poisonous changes occur in the brain,including the abnormal buildup of proteins called amyloid plaques and tau tangles.(阿尔茨海默氏症背后的脑
“On examining the brains of these mice, we found a chemical change not unlike that found in the Alzheimer brain,” Susanne Akterin, a researcher at the Karolinska Institutet's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, who led the study, said in a statement....
The authors studied the distribution of neurofibrillary tangles in the basal ganglia and brain stem of progressive supranuclear palsy and Alzheimer's disease, with the result that almost no similarity in the distribution and frequency of neurofibrillary tangles exists between both diseases. In two cases...
Background: The purpose of the present paper was to clarify the role of brain amyloid protein (A) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) with the eventual aim of developing new treatments. Methods: Three kinds of transgenic mice (Tg) were examined: those overexpressing APP695NL (APPsw mice), those ...
Tangled up brain fibrils made up of a rogue protein known as tau are the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that likely hold the key to treatments, making them of great interest to researchers. Mimicking the formation and spread of these tangles in animal models with greater accuracy allows...
