    17 Mar 2023 Here’s a tau twist that may take some adapting to. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, yes, those mercurial executioners of the immune system, may be responsible for the neurodegeneration seen in Alzheimer’s disease and other tauopathies. That’s the scenario outlined by David Holtzman, Washington University, St. Louis, and colleagues in Nature on March 8. The scientists report that,…

    Persistent pain has been recently suggested as a risk factor for dementia. Indeed, chronic pain is frequently accompanied by maladaptive brain plasticity and cognitive deficits whose molecular underpinnings are poorly understood. Despite the emerging role of Tau as a key regulator of neuronal plasticity and pathology in diverse brain disorders, the role of Tau has never been studied in the…

    The study discovered that as Alzheimer’s disease progresses, brain levels of enzymes that regulate DNA-folding decrease. Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, McGill University, and Harvard University found that, in contrast to earlier research, the levels of brain enzymes that control DNA

    Background and Objectives To evaluate whether plasma biomarkers of amyloid (Aβ42/Aβ40), tau (p-tau181 and p-tau231), and neuroaxonal injury (neurofilament light chain [NfL]) detect brain amyloidosis consistently across racial groups. Methods Individuals enrolled in studies of memory and aging who self-identified as African American (AA) were matched 1:1 to self-identified non-Hispanic White…
