An Oregon State University scientist and a team of undergraduate students have uncovered real-time insights into a chemical process linked with Alzheimer's disease, paving the way toward better drug ...

Researchers developed a computer simulation that rapidly and accurately predicts how proteins shift their shapes, potentially advancing drug design and protein engineering.

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, are medical conditions that entail the progressive loss of neurons and a decline in brain function. Past studies have found a link ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

Protein-based therapeutics have transformed treatments for numerous diseases, yet their production remains highly complex and cost-intensive [1][2],[3][4]. Downstream processing (DSP), including ...

Raghu R. Chivukula, MD, Ph.D., a physician-investigator in the Departments of Medicine & Surgery and the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, is ...

For many people, "protein" is the key element of a food order. However, beyond the preferred choice of meats or plant-based ...

Purdue University researchers have taken the first steps to treat Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Type 2 diabetes by creating multiple patent-pending compounds shown to inhibit protein ...

Protein aggregation is typical of various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and prion diseases such as Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. A research team has now used new in vitro and ...

In patients with Huntington’s disease, proteins misfold and clump together. Researchers imagine the treatment could potentially someday be administered as a once-weekly injection to delay disease ...
