Tau proteins play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Tau helps to stabilize neurons in the brain, but in Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons. These tangles ...

Rachel works as a CRNA where she provides anesthesia care across the lifespan, including pediatric anesthesia, with a primary focus on orthopedic anesthesia. She is also an Assistant Professor at the ...

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging technique that uses small amounts of radioactive substances. Doctors may use PET scans in chemotherapy treatments for cancer. PET scans help ...

Researchers use AI and postmortem tissue to reveal that tau PET scans are often influenced by iron and neuroinflammation rather than tau tangles alone.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a type of imaging scan that doctors might use when diagnosing and treating non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). It can be useful for identifying and staging the cancer.

PET scans can detect amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain, which are often early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. But they’re not enough on their own to make a diagnosis. Alzheimer’s disease is ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) scans can detect cancer earlier than other imaging tests. But some types of cancer are harder to detect on a PET scan. In particular, they may miss cancers that ...

In a small study, researchers at the National Institutes of Health have found that positron emission tomography (PET) scans of the heart may identify people who will go on to develop Parkinson’s ...

Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.

In a small study, researchers at the National Institutes of Health have found that positron emission tomography (PET) scans of the heart may identify people who will go on to develop Parkinson's ...
