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 ...

A novel strategy developed at Rice University allows scientists to zoom in on tiny segments of proteins inside living cells, revealing localized environmental changes that could indicate the earliest ...

A new large-scale study has mapped the first molecular events that drive the formation of harmful amyloid protein aggregates found in Alzheimer’s disease, pointing towards a new potential therapeutic ...

In patients with Huntington’s disease, proteins misfold and clump together. Researchers imagine the treatment could potentially someday be administered as a once-weekly injection to delay disease ...

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 ...

Scientists can now zoom in on protein segments in living cells, tracking changes linked to early disease and aiding drug screening for aggregation disorders. The research team engineered a fluorescent ...

Han Xiao is a professor of chemistry and director of Rice’s SynthX Center. A novel strategy developed at Rice University allows scientists to zoom in on tiny segments of proteins inside living cells, ...

A team of researchers at Kumamoto University has uncovered a groundbreaking mechanism in the formation of harmful protein aggregates that lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease ...

A new study shows p62-mediated Mallory-Denk body formation is an adaptive, protective response to alcohol-induced liver ...
