Unexpected mutations in blood stem cells may help protect against Alzheimer’s disease. A new study published in the journal ...

Amyloid fibrils are ordered protein aggregates formed by normally soluble proteins, which are implicated in several neurodegenerative disorders.

Beta-thalassemia results from mutations of the β-hemoglobin (Hbb) gene and reduced functional Hbb synthesis. Excess α-Hb causes globin chain aggregation, oxidation, cytoskeletal damage, and increased ...

A study published in Cell Stem Cell reveals that some mutations in blood stem cells might help protect against late-onset ...

The ability of peptides to construct specific secondary structures provides a useful function for biomaterial design that cannot be achieved with traditional organic molecules and polymers. Inhibition ...

FDA Approves Expanded Indications for GE HealthCare’s Vizamyl PET Imaging Agent for Beta Amyloid Detection, Enabling More Precise Care for Alzheimer’s Patients ...

Certain neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the progressive accumulation of insoluble deposits of misfolded proteins. Amyloid β-protein (Aβ) oligomers affect synaptic structure and ...
