Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which neurofibrillary tangles spread through the brain of Alzheimer's patients is via connected neurons, and these findings reveal a major disease etiology ...

A spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are due to the accumulation of abnormal, ...

Years before tau tangles show up in brain scans of patients with Alzheimer's disease, a biomarker test developed at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine can detect small amounts of the ...

A biomarker test identified tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease before fibrillary tangles developed. Neurofibrillary tangle formation can be prevented by targeting intermediate soluble tau assemblies ...

While numerous fluid markers flag brain Aβ pathology in Alzheimer’s disease, markers of neurofibrillary tangles are few and far between. Now, scientists led by Oskar Hansson at Lund University in ...

Lantheus's radiodiagnostic is designed to identify cognitively impaired patients who have tau neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) pathology.
