"The scale at which we analyzed the amyloid peptides was unprecedented," said Ben Lehner of the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

The origin of many diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's can be found at the molecular level in our body, in other ...

Type III turned up in extracts from the 83-year-old man. This new fibril made up 30 percent of the soluble fibrils in the man’s brain. Cryo-EM showed it to be a heterotrimer of three protofilaments, ...

Tiny strands of cellulose known as fibril bridges seem to play a crucial role, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports.

Tunable metastability of condensates reconciles their dual roles in amyloid fibril formation. Molecular Cell , 2025; DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2025.05.011 Cite This Page : ...

Each individual fibril lasts for about 15 to 20 minutes -- the plasma in them is moving at over 20 kilometres per second reaching up to ten thousand kilometres in height before collapsing and ...

Here the authors reveal the amyloid polymorphism of PSMs by presenting the cross-β amyloid fibril structures of the biofilm-associated PSMα1 and PSMα4 and showing that truncated PSMα3 ...

This vastly increases the amount of information one can get from one fibril, she said. From individual fibrils, Shahmoradian found hints of teeny blobs dotting their periphery. By summing analysis of ...

Pathogenic mutations in key stress granule proteins such as hNRNPA1 prolong the lifetime of stress granules and drive the formation of insoluble fibril threads, which accumulate over time, causing ...
