Trans‐seeding of Alzheimer‐related tau protein by a yeast prion

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Zhiva Skachokova

Abnormal tau protein aggregates constitute a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The mechanisms underlying the initiation of tau aggregation in sporadic neurodegeneration remain unclear. Here we investigate whether a non-human prion can seed tau aggregation. ...

The evolution of triphenylamine hole transport materials for efficient perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

In recent years, the dramatic increase in power conversion efficiency (PCE) coupled with a decrease in the total cost of third-generation solar cells has led to a significant increase in the collaborative research efforts of academic and industrial researc ...

C-reactive protein and white matter microstructural changes in COVID-19 patients with encephalopathy

Alessandra Griffa

Encephalopathy is a neurological complication of COVID-19. The objective of this exploratory study is to investigate the link between systemic inflammation and brain microstructural changes (measured by diffusion-weighted imaging) in patients with COVID-19 ...

Novel Analytical Methods for Allergy-Related Studies

Mikaël Frossard

Managing and treating diseases require a deep understanding of the pathologies coupled with accurate diagnostic procedures. The constant development and improvement of bioanalytical methods reflect the need of diagnosis ameliorations with respect to accura ...

Gangliosides: Treatment Avenues in Neurodegenerative Disease

Pierre Magistretti

Gangliosides are cell membrane components, most abundantly in the central nervous system (CNS) where they exert among others neuro-protective and -restorative functions. Clinical development of ganglioside replacement therapy for several neurodegenerative ...

Human Kunitz-type protease inhibitor engineered for enhanced matrix retention extends longevity of fibrin biomaterials

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Kristen Lorentz

Aprotinin is a broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor used in the clinic as an anti-fibrinolytic agent in fibrin-based tissue sealants. However, upon re-exposure, some patients suffer from hypersensitivity immune reactions likely related to the bovine or ...

In Vivo Longitudinal (1)H MRS Study of Transgenic Mouse Models of Prion Disease in the Hippocampus and Cerebellum at 14.1 T

Rolf Gruetter, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Mélanie Craveiro

In vivo (1)H MR spectroscopy allows the non invasive characterization of brain metabolites and it has been used for studying brain metabolic changes in a wide range of neurodegenerative diseases. The prion diseases form a group of fatal neurodegenerative d ...

A novel UGGT1 and p97-dependent checkpoint for native ectodomains with ionizable intramembrane residue

Maurizio Molinari

Only native polypeptides are released from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to be transported at the site of activity. Persistently misfolded proteins are retained and eventually selected for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The paradox of a structure-based ...

Ultrafast photoinduced processes in metal - containing molecular complexes and in proteins

Roberto Monni

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the ultrafast inter¿ and intra¿molecular processes, occurring in both metal¿containing molecular complexes and in proteins, by means of ultrafast Transient Absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The first part of the thesis ...

The Protein-disulfide Isomerase ERp57 Regulates the Steady-state Levels of the Prion Protein

Maurizio Molinari

Although the accumulation of a misfolded and protease-resistant form of the prion protein (PrP) is a key event in prion pathogenesis, the cellular factors involved in its folding and quality control are poorly understood. PrP is a glycosylated and disulfid ...
