Their paper, published online in Cell Reports on April 7, 2025, explores the mechanisms behind the formation of multilayered protein condensates. The study was co-authored by Dr. Tomohisa Hosokawa ...

Conspicuous deposits in the brain A striking feature of Parkinson’s disease is clumps of alpha-synuclein protein in the brain. Like other proteins, alpha-synuclein consists of long chains of amino ...

The laminin-411 protein is vital for the formation of the myelin membrane by oligodendrocytes, report researchers from Japan.

Small aggregates of proteins known as Aβ oligomers are suspected as the main cause for the development of Alzheimer's disease. However, it is not yet clear where and under what conditions these ...

A new study demonstrates that inhibition of the p38 protein boosts the formation of blood vessels in human and mice colon cancers. Known as angiogenesis, this process is critical in fueling cancer ...

EPFL researchers have developed a ‘self-driving’ microscope that can predict the onset of misfolded protein aggregation – a ...

The working group has already identified protein molecules such as Sox10 that regulate the formation and preservation of myelin sheaths. The aim of the new project was to understand how the ...
