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

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a potential new strategy to fight back against Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, conditions that are linked to the toxic accumulation of ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified a conserved aging-related protein, EPS8, that promotes toxic protein aggregation linked to neurodegenerative diseases.

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 ...

Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other ...

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 identified a backup mechanism of protein quality control which prevents the toxic effects of protein aggregation in specific tissues when normal methods of molecular monitoring fail.

Durable analytical instruments expedite the study of misfolded proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases. To overcome these limitations, scientists developed the real-time quaking-induced ...

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