Scientists may have found a way to stop Alzheimer’s damage before it starts — by “melting” the tiny protein clumps that are the early triggers of the disease. Alzheimer’s has long been linked to ...

DNA scaffolds that mirror influenza virus protein geometry boost antiviral binding and reduce infection more effectively than free molecules, enabling a modular antiviral design strategy. (Nanowerk ...

Tau protein fibrillization mirrors polymer crystallization. The pathway taken as tau proteins form fibrils is very similar to the pathway taken by polymers as they crystallize. Tokyo, Japan – ...

Scientists have, for the first time, directly visualised and quantified the protein clusters believed to trigger Parkinson’s, marking a major advance in the study of the world’s fastest-growing ...
