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 ...

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 ...

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

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, are medical conditions that entail the progressive loss of neurons and a decline in brain function. Past studies have found a link ...

Researchers headed by a team at the Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology and at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have developed an AI tool that they say has made a ...

Researchers have developed a 'self-driving' microscope that can predict the onset of misfolded protein aggregation - a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease - as well as analyze the biomechanical ...

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 ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The hallmark of PD pathogenesis is the Lewy bodies (LBs) that accumulate in neurons in the substantia nigra region ...

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 ...
