How Molecular Chaperones Dissolve Protein Aggregates Linked To Parkinson’s Disease
Researchers unravel the mechanism of amyloid fibril disaggregation
13-Nov-2020 -
In many neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, protein aggregates form in the brain and are assumed to contribute to neuronal cell death. Yet there exists a cellular defence mechanism that counteracts these aggregates, known as amyloid fibrils, and can even dissolve fibrils already formed. ...
