Dysfunctional Family. A family tree of tau folds now incorporates two new structures—P301L, P301T (bottom)—and fills in ...

This study is the first to measure patterns of brain degeneration in CTE, and shows that repetitive head impacts are linked to loss of cells, shrinkage, and tau pathology buildup within the folds ...

Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the build-up in the brain of tau protein 'aggregates' within ...

Senior author Dr Helen Murray says the new research paves the way for a deeper understanding of the causes of CTE and for developing ... Beyond the buildup of tau, the research team discovered ...

Researchers have found that tau protein levels detected on brain scans of living people may serve as a biomarker of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain disease that has been linked to repeated ...
