New biomarker for tau-related brain disorders? Study suggests another avenue for detecting Alzheimer's disease

Researchers have determined that a well-known chemical process called acetylation has a previously unrecognized association with one of the biological processes associated with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Acetylation was only detected in diseased brain tissue from patients with Alzheimer's disease or frontotemporal degeneration, suggesting it may have a role in tau transformation linked to disease onset and progression.
