Alzheimer’s: Study reveals how disease progresses in the brain
Fox News
New research has tracked the replication and spread of the protein tau for the first time. Aggregates of tau and the protein beta-amyloid are involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
The international study, published at the end of last month in the journal Science Advances, was led by scientists at the University of Cambridge.
In it, the authors wrote that by bringing together chemical kinetics with measurements of the tau aggregates, or "seeds," across brain regions, they could quantify the rate of their replication in human brains.
