In Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and type 2 diabetes, harmful protein aggregates and deposits, known as amyloid plaques, develop.

Scripps Research scientists discovered that some sections of the hormone-carrying molecule transthyretin (left) are in constant motion (right), which may explain why the protein can misfold and ...

These emerging concepts are exemplified by Alzheimer's disease, in which amyloid β-protein oligomers adversely affect synaptic structure and plasticity. Findings in other neurodegenerative ...

A new AI tool called RibbonFold is revolutionizing how scientists understand misfolded proteins linked to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Tau proteins help stabilize and support the internal structure of brain cells, allowing nutrients to move efficiently ... For years, researchers primarily focused their attention on another protein, ...

Caption The measles virus is an enveloped virus bearing a lipid bilayer. The bilayer holds the receptor binding hemagglutinin (H) protein and the fusion (F) protein. For infection to happen, the H ...

Although there are many outstanding questions about Alzheimer’s and a significant lack of effective drugs, scientists believe a protein called amyloid-beta plays an important role in the condition.

In a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, scientists explore how a brain protein called tau changes its behavior when a small chemical group called a phosphate attaches to ...
