flag Researchers discovered Tau, a protein linked to neurodegenerative diseases, has a neuroprotective function.

flag Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute discovered that Tau, a protein linked to neurodegenerative diseases, has a neuroprotective function. flag Tau mitigates neuronal damage caused by excessive reactive oxygen species or free radicals and promotes healthy aging. flag In this role, Tau assists in sequestering toxic peroxidized lipids from neurons, reducing oxidative damage and protecting the brain. flag This finding opens new avenues for treating neurodegenerative conditions by harnessing Tau's protective abilities.
