Correlative light and electron microscopy for human brain and other biological models

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Amanda Jennifer Lewis, Marta Di Fabrizio, Domenic Burger

Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) combines light microscopy, for identifying a target via genetic labels, dyes, antibodies and morphological features, with electron microscopy, for analyzing high-resolution subcellular ultrastructures. Here, ...

Studying Sars-cov-2 Ssrna Key Sequence Combining Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Theoretical Folding Model

Marta Di Fabrizio

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) vibrational spectroscopy is widely used for the analysis of both protein and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) secondary structures, being one of the most sensitive vibrational methods to changes in molecular structure. Despite ...

Structural investigations of brain and skin tissues in Parkinson's and related diseases, using correlative light and electron microscopy

Marta Di Fabrizio

Parkinson's disease (PD), Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) are neurodegenerative disorders collectively termed synucleinopathies, as they all present proteinaceous pathological aggregates of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) in the br ...

Distinct ultrastructural phenotypes of glial and neuronal alpha-synuclein inclusions in multiple system atrophy

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Amanda Jennifer Lewis, Marta Di Fabrizio, Domenic Burger, Carolin Böing

Multiple System Atrophy is characterized pathologically by the accumulation of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) into glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs). The mechanism underlying the formation of GCIs is not well understood. In this study, correlative light and elec ...

Secondary Structures of MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 Spike Proteins Revealed by Infrared Vibrational Spectroscopy

Marta Di Fabrizio

All coronaviruses are characterized by spike glycoproteins whose S1 subunits contain the receptor binding domain (RBD). The RBD anchors the virus to the host cellular membrane to regulate the virus transmissibility and infectious process. Although the prot ...

Strontium Substituted Tricalcium Phosphate Bone Cement: Short and Long-Term Time-Resolved Studies and In Vitro Properties

Marta Di Fabrizio

Due to a significant influence of strontium (Sr) on bone regeneration, Sr substituted beta-tricalcium phosphate (Sr-TCP) cement is prepared and investigated by short- and long-term time-resolved techniques. For short-term investigations, energy-dispersive ...

FTLD-TDP assemblies seed neoaggregates with subtype-specific features via a prion-like cascade

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Amanda Jennifer Lewis, Marta Di Fabrizio, Julien Weber

Morphologically distinct TDP-43 aggregates occur in clinically different FTLD-TDP subtypes, yet the mechanism of their emergence and contribution to clinical heterogeneity are poorly understood. Several lines of evidence suggest that pathological TDP-43 fo ...
