Hints and tips:
...These include removing tau (another toxic protein associated with Alzheimer’s), reducing cerebral inflammation and enhancing the brain’s capacity to flush out harmful molecules....
...A protein called tau, which forms brain “tangles”, is another therapeutic target. Inflammation is also a possible culprit....
...The findings could also be positive for other potential drugs that Biogen has in development, including another that targets amyloid plaques and some which try to tackle a build-up of tau protein, which...
...There are other trials under way at very early stages, looking at a variety of strategies from targeting ‘tau’, twisted proteins that tangle up in the brain; anti-inflammation strategies and the brain’s...
...Michael Ehlers, executive vice-president of research and development, said it would continue to pursue potential treatments based on targeting another protein, called tau....
...But we now know there are many other indications of Alzheimer’s in the brain including tangles, twisted fibres of a protein called “tau”....
...As well as the plaques, affected brains also contain tangles of another protein, called tau. The plaques have long been given star billing; perhaps the spotlight will now turn on untangling tau....

...Crenezumab is about five years ahead of the anti-tau programme....
...Claudio Cavazza, the head of Sigma Tau, an Italian drug company, says he is funding some repurposing research from his own pocket....
...Tau is now drawing more attention, in part because of a 1998 paper in which researchers showed that mutations in a gene encoding one of the human versions of tau lead to a rare form of dementia that bears...
