α-Synuclein increases β-amyloid secretion by promoting β-/γ-secretase processing of APP.

PLoS ONE, 2017
α-Synuclein misfolding and aggregation is often accompanied by β-amyloid deposition in some neurodegenerative diseases. We hypothesised that α-synuclein promotes β-amyloid production from APP.

Vps28 Implicated in a-Synuclein Pathobiology: Building Support for Lysosome-Mediated Degradation [PDF]

Misfolding and toxic accumulation of α-synuclein is thought to cause Parkinson’s disease. Developing ways to reduce a-Synuclein accumulation may lead to future treatments.

Nanoplastics and Neurodegeneration: A Roadmap From Mechanism to Causation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanoplastics are pervasive environmental contaminants with potentially profound implications for human health. Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between nanoplastic exposure and neurodegeneration, a key driver of ageing and dementia, yet causality remains unresolved.

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.

Association between Plasma P‐tau217 and Alzheimer's Copathology and Cognitive Decline in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Clinically relevant Alzheimer's disease co‐pathology is common in Lewy body disorders. Plasma P‐tau217 is a sensitive biomarker for amyloid and tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease. The objective was to determine if plasma P‐tau217 associates with Alzheimer's disease co‐pathology and cognition in Lewy body disorders. Methods Participants had (

Predominance of Ferroptotic Cell Death Mechanisms in Substantia Nigra Neurodegeneration in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The extent of neuronal loss in Parkinson's disease (PD) and the pathogenic processes underlying neuronal dysfunction and loss remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the expression of key molecules representing different cell death signaling pathways and their association with Lewy pathology, dopaminergic (DA) neuron loss and stage of PD ...

Analysis of Single Particles of Amyloid Beta and α‐Synuclein With Seeded Amplification for the Diagnosis of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), are characterized by the pathological aggregation of specific proteins such as amyloid beta (Aβ) and α‐synuclein, respectively. Early detection of these protein aggregates in biological fluids could facilitate timely diagnosis and therapeutic ...

Genetic code expansion for chemosensing and chemical actuation of biological functions

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
Genetic code expansion (GCE) broadens the chemical repertoire for precise control of protein function in biological systems. This review highlights GCE‐based sensing and actuating systems that operate through selective interactions between noncanonical amino acids and chemical triggers.

Protein thermal stability in the undergraduate biochemistry laboratory: Exploring protein thermal stability with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 209-217, March/April 2025.
Abstract We created a novel laboratory experience where undergraduate students explore the techniques used to study protein misfolding, unfolding, and aggregation. Despite the importance of protein misfolding and aggregation diseases, protein unfolding is not typically explored in undergraduate biochemistry laboratory classes.
