For the first time, scientists say, they have evidence that using a biologic drug to remove sticky beta amyloid plaques from ...

In a study of biomarkers in Alzheimer’s dementia, plasma p-tau217 had greater agreement with CSF and amyloid-PET biomarker ...

These drugs work by clearing amyloid from the brain, which doctors can see on specialized imaging called a PET brain scan. Administered through a needle placed in an arm vein, these medications ...

Not the Same. In amyloid-negative people (left) few tangles accumulate over a decade. In amyloid-positives (right), tangles grow faster in women (red) than men (blue). [Courtesy of Gillian Coughlan, ...

Along with another protein, amyloid beta, tau can build up in the ... s because no single test is definitive. One exam, a tau PET scan, relies on a radioactive tracer injected into the body ...

These proteins also form clumps in the brain, and their presence is more reliably associated with Alzheimer's disease than amyloid-beta clumps. Positron emission tomography (PET) scans are good at ...

A new study from Mass General Brigham researchers has found faster accumulation of tau-a key indicator of Alzheimer's disease-in the brains of women over the age of 70 who took menopausal hormone ...

The mean age at the first tau scan was 71.9 years ... females had similar frequencies of high baseline amyloid, APOE4 status, and mean tau PET follow-up time (an average of 2.8 years).
