Tau proteins act like the brain's maintenance crew, helping maintain the structure and proper function of brain cells. In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, the tau proteins can form tangles that disrupt normal ...
People with lower kidney function may have higher levels of several blood markers often used in research on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, according to a new systematic review and meta-analysis published in the ...
