The formation of amyloid fibrils and the aggregation of misfolded proteins are central to the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. At the molecular level, normal proteins adopt aberrant conformations ...

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 ...

Protein-based therapeutics have transformed treatments for numerous diseases, yet their production remains highly complex and cost-intensive [1][2],[3][4]. Downstream processing (DSP), including ...

An Oregon State University scientist and a team of undergraduate students have uncovered real-time insights into a chemical process linked with Alzheimer's disease, paving the way toward better drug ...

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 ...

The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. But to the human eye, proteins that are ...

A structural protein best known for building the internal scaffolding of cells may double as a natural defense against the ...

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) remains a leading cause of cirrhosis and liver-related mortality worldwide, with few effective therapies.

By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

Tubulin acts as a master regulator, preventing Tau and alpha-synuclein from forming toxic clumps in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, although a cascade of events likely leads to those ...
