Scientists discovered that tau, the protein linked to Alzheimer's disease, plays a crucial role in creating memories that last. The finding could reshape how we treat dementia in the future.
A single intravenous treatment successfully reduced toxic tau protein by up to 75% in primate brains for six months, offering new hope for Alzheimer's patients. The breakthrough could eliminate the need for repeated invasive treatments.
A new experimental treatment has become the first to successfully reduce toxic tau proteins in Alzheimer's patients while slowing memory decline. The breakthrough offers fresh hope for millions facing the neurodegenerative disease.
Scientists discovered a natural brain protein that shields against the toxic tangles driving Alzheimer's disease. Mice with extra SORLA had healthier brains, less damage, and stronger neural connections.
Scientists discovered that tau, long blamed for destroying memory in Alzheimer's patients, actually plays a critical role in healthy brains by helping select which neurons form lasting memories. The finding could reshape how researchers develop treatments for the disease affecting 6 million Americans.
Women are leading a worldwide shift toward higher protein intake, with 51% of new protein seekers being female. The change reflects a growing focus on fitness, healthy aging, and overall wellness.
After 15 years of skepticism, scientists finally cracked a technology that lets microscopes see tiny proteins in stunning detail. The laser phase plate could unlock mysteries about how proteins work inside living cells.
The AlphaFold protein database just added predictions for how proteins pair up, a breakthrough that helps scientists understand how life actually works at the molecular level. The freely available tool now includes 1.7 million protein partnerships across 20 key species.
Scientists are on the brink of two major breakthroughs that could revolutionize drug development and disease treatment. New AI systems can now predict how proteins change shape and design custom proteins that bind to disease targets with stunning accuracy.
Northwestern University researchers developed a breakthrough therapy that grabs "undruggable" cancer proteins and drags them to the cell's trash system for destruction. The approach worked against MYC and KRAS, two proteins that drive many aggressive cancers and resist most treatments.
Scientists discovered that damaged brain cells called tanycytes may explain why toxic tau protein builds up in Alzheimer's disease. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments that help the brain clear harmful proteins before they cause damage.
Scientists have discovered that specialized brain cells called tanycytes act as cleanup crews, removing toxic tau protein before it can cause Alzheimer's disease. When these cells fail, tau builds up in the brain.
A major scientific review of 350 studies suggests that eating less protein, not more, could help adults age better. The findings challenge the popular high-protein trend sweeping America.
Scientists discovered that a natural brain protein called SORLA protects against the toxic tau tangles that drive Alzheimer's disease. Mice with extra SORLA had healthier brains and better memory, offering hope for future treatments.
Scientists discovered a natural brain protein called SORLA that protects against toxic tau tangles in Alzheimer's disease. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for dementia.

A British startup just sent a grapefruit-sized lab into orbit to study proteins linked to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. In space, these shape-shifting proteins might finally hold still long enough for scientists to understand them.
University of New Mexico researchers discovered an enzyme that controls tau protein buildup in the brain. When they turned it off, toxic tau vanished and neurons stayed healthy, opening new hope for Alzheimer's treatment.
The world's largest protein structure database just got a major upgrade that could speed up drug discovery and disease research. AlphaFold now predicts how proteins work together, not just alone.
After family health scares made them question food safety, Chef Disha and entrepreneur Prashant quit their high-paying jobs to create protein-rich chaap they could actually trust. Their leap of faith became Protein Pantry, now serving over 30,000 customers across India.
Scientists at Monash University discovered a tick protein that blocks two types of immune signals at once, a breakthrough that could lead to more effective treatments for rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and other inflammatory diseases. This natural protein works differently than anything found before.
