Purdue University researchers have taken the first steps to treat Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Type 2 diabetes by creating multiple patent-pending compounds shown to inhibit protein ...

A designer version of the tau protein, developed by a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers, maintains its ...

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

Researchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology and the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research revealed a mechanism involving protein aggregation that allows bacteria to enter a ...

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.

Testa Analytical Solutions reports on interest from protein scientists to use Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) as a tool for screening for the presence of aggregates, as it is extremely sensitive to ...

Could measuring protein clumps in our cells be a new way to find out our risk of getting age-related diseases? Professor Dorothee Dormann and Professor Edward Lemke of Johannes Gutenberg University ...

The pathway leading to the telltale sign of ALS, protein aggregation in the cytoplasm of motor neurons, has been revealed. Researchers from the University of California – San Diego (CA, USA) have ...

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 ...

The authors investigate the effect of low pH and ionic strength on aggregation using turbidity measurements and size-exclusion–high-performance liquid chromatography. Turbidity measurements and ...
