In this collection, we highlight papers reporting structural insights into amyloid fibrils associated with neurodegenerative and systemic diseases as well as functional amyloids that were obtained ...
Researchers from the National Institutes of Natural Sciences and Nagoya City University have achieved a significant breakthrough by elucidating the structure of amyloid β (Aβ) bound to glycolipids on ...
Scientists have developed powerful tools to unmask the diversity of amyloid fibrils, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. The scientists made the ...
Amyloid fibrils appear in many neurodegenerative diseases, and scientists are eager to understand how they form and spread. But amyloids—clumped aggregations of misfolded proteins—can be difficult to ...
Researchers have developed a potential new peptide-based drug delivery system by repurposing fibrils that contribute to Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. Researchers at the University of North ...
Research into preventing and reversing the creation of misfolded protein aggregates known as fibrils could provide new therapeutic opportunities in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as ...
Former Edgewise and Merck leader brings more than 15 years’ experience to guide Immutrin’s clinical strategy as the Company ...
In a study published in Nature Communications, they show that the metabolite L-arginine enhances the stability of protein ...
Amyloid-β is not the only component of the senile plaques that mark Alzheimer’s disease. Are the others mere bystanders that get caught in a web of Aβ fibrils, or are they more nefarious, instigating ...
Scientists report on a mathematical model for the formation of amyloid fibrils. The model sheds light on how the aggregation process can occur in a catalytic manner, something that has not been ...
Over time, transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) can damage the nerves, heart, and other organs. This may lead to complications like heart problems, nerve damage, and trouble with everyday bodily functions ...
