Hierarchical Protofilament Intertwining Rules the Formation of Mixed-Curvature Amyloid Polymorphs

Giovanni Dietler, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Meltem Tatli, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Jiangtao Zhou, Salvatore Assenza, Raffaele Mezzenga

Amyloid polymorphism is a hallmark of almost all amyloid species, yet the mechanisms underlying the formation of amyloid polymorphs and their complex architectures remain elusive. Commonly, two main mesoscopic topologies are found in amyloid polymorphs cha ...

Method of preparation of amyloidogenic protein aggregates and uses thereof

Hilal Lashuel, Galina Limorenko

The invention relates to methods for the preparation of method of preparation of Tau aggregates, including fibrils, fibrillar species, soluble and insoluble oligomeric species, new Tau aggregates and uses thereof. The invention further relates to the uses ...

Targeting TDP-43 Proteinopathies in Neurodegeneration by its Native-State Stabilization.

Lixin Yang

Preventing the misfolding or aggregation of TDP-43 is the most actively pursued disease-modifying strategy to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative diseases. In our work, we provide proof of concept that native state stabili ...

TAR DNA-binding protein with 43 kD (TDP-43) is a partially disordered protein that misfolds and accumulates in the brains of patients affected by several neurodegenerative diseases. TDP-43 oligomers have been reported to form due to aberrant misfolding or ...

Classification of patients with cardiac amyloidosis using machine learning models on Italian electronic clinical health records

Silvestro Micera, Sara Mazzucato

Amyloidosis refers to a range of medical conditions in which misshapen proteins accumulate in various organs and tissues, forming insoluble fibrils. Cardiac amyloidosis is frequently linked to the buildup of misfolded transthyretin (TTR) or immunoglobulin ...

To target Tau pathologies, we must embrace and reconstruct their complexities

Hilal Lashuel, Galina Limorenko

The accumulation of hyperphosphorylated fibrillar Tau aggregates in the brain is one of the defining hallmarks of Tauopathy diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. However, the primary events or molecules responsible for initiation of the pathological Tau ...

Gold nanoparticles as a new tool in amyloid studies

Urszula Beata Cendrowska

The misfolding and self-assembly of proteins into fibrils is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative and systemic diseases. These disease-associated proteins have the propensity to form fibrils with a cross-Î² sheet structure, called amyloids. Amyloids can ...

EPFL2020

One of the molecular hallmarks of amyloidoses is ordered protein aggregation involving the initial formation of soluble protein oligomers that eventually grow into insoluble fibrils. The identification and characterization of molecular species critical fo ...

Molecular dissection of amyloid disaggregation by human HSP70

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci

The molecular steps that lead to the disaggregation of amyloid fibrils are shown to involve the synergistic action of HSP70 and its co-chaperones DNAJB1 and HSP110. The deposition of highly ordered fibrillar-type aggregates into inclusion bodies is a hallm ...

NATURE RESEARCH2020

This thesis focuses on the interdisciplinary biophysical research field, in which physical approaches are applied to study the biological phenomena. Specifically, the main object of the research in this thesis is to target biological species,especially the ...
