Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

To date, approaches to treatments for Alzheimer's disease have not addressed the contribution of protein insolubility as a general phenomenon, instead focusing on one or two insoluble proteins.

The first synthetic fragment of tau protein has been created, revealing more about the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers at Northwestern University (IL, USA) and the ...

The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the brain is central to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. But to the human eye, proteins that are ...

When proteins are made in a cell, they start out as strings of amino acids, which have to be folded into the correct, three-dimensional shape so they will function properly. Misfolded proteins can ...

Have we been wrong about what causes Alzheimer's disease? New research suggests yes. For years, the leading theory for the cause of this neurodegeneration was the accumulation of abnormal proteins in ...

The consequence of low blood protein depends on how low the protein becomes, which protein is low, and the cause of the low protein. Having a correct level of protein in the blood is essential for ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Overweight and obese adults who are losing weight with a high-protein diet are more likely to sleep better, according to new research from Purdue University. "Most research ...
