Stem cell scientists from the University of Southern California (USC) and elsewhere have found a way to potentially clear out the buildup of tau protein in the brain, which is associated with the ...

Glutamate, a neurotransmitter, can lead to a toxic buildup of tau protein, contributing to Alzheimer's and related diseases. Research using lab mice and human brain organoids identified the gene ...

How to clear the toxic tau protein that can lead to Alzheimer's and related diseases Date: March 5, 2025 Source: Keck School of Medicine of USC Summary: The neurotransmitter glutamate is essential ...

The neurotransmitter glutamate is essential for regulating everything from mood to memory, but it can also encourage a toxic buildup of the notorious tau protein, which can contribute to Alzheimer ...

However, research has also linked glutamate to the toxic accumulation of tau protein – a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. A recent study led by scientists at USC Stem Cell, ...

USC Stem Cell scientists discover a new way to rid cells of toxic tau protein in a study involving mice and lab-grown human “mini-brains,” known as organoids. The neurotransmitter glutamate is ...

Iron-dependent ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic cell death mechanism, is gaining attention for its role in immune suppression.
