Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions can sometimes feature damaging clumps of tau proteins that have become deformed. Scientists have now synthesized these misshapen entities in ...
The first synthetic fragment of tau protein has been created, revealing more about the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers at Northwestern University (IL, USA) and the ...
We may have been overestimating the role of a pathological class of misfolded protein in neurodegenerative disease. Called prions, these molecules are responsible for conditions such as bovine ...
New research from David Westaway, PhD, of the University of Alberta and Jiri Safar, MD, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has uncovered a quality control mechanism in brain cells that ...
In the field of COVID-19 research, attention has turned to a critical aspect: the prion region on the surface spike proteins of the virus and its implications, especially in the context of mRNA ...
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University researchers have described with single-molecule precision how copper ions cause prion proteins to misfold and seed the misfolding and clumping of nearby prion ...
Scientists at Northwestern University and University of California, Santa Barbara have created the first synthetic fragment of tau protein that acts like a prion. The “mini prion” folds and stacks ...
