Protein aggregation is typical of various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and prion diseases such as Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. A research team has now used new in vitro and ...

Researchers have developed a 'self-driving' microscope that can predict the onset of misfolded protein aggregation - a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease - as well as analyze the biomechanical ...

PTIR calculates the rates at which originally monomeric proteins are transformed into aggregates at various temperatures under initial-rate settings. Utilizing SMSLS for identical conditions generates ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) led to the disruption of the global economy and the loss of human lives. Studies are still ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The hallmark of PD pathogenesis is the Lewy bodies (LBs) that accumulate in neurons in the substantia nigra region ...

Scientists have uncovered a potential new mechanism whereby α-synuclein pathology spreads. Like black holes, large densities of α-synuclein pull in surrounding matter. Among the victims trapped in ...
