Preliminary Investigation of the Frictional Response of Reptilian Shed Skin

, 2012
Developing deterministic surfaces relies on controlling the structure of the rubbing interface so that not only the surface is of optimized topography, but also is able to self-adjust its tribological behaviour according to the evolution of sliding ...

Live Imaging of Type I Collagen Assembly Dynamics in Osteoblasts Stably Expressing GFP and mCherry-Tagged Collagen Constructs [PDF]

, 2018
Type I collagen is the most abundant extracellular matrix protein in bone and other connective tissues and plays key roles in normal and pathological bone formation as well as in connective tissue disorders and fibrosis.

Neurotoxic amyloid β‐peptide and tau produce cytokine‐like effects on PMCA in glioblastoma cell lines, enhancing its activity and isoforms expression

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Two biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, amyloid β‐peptide (Aβ) and tau, induce the transformation of U‐251 and other glioblastoma cell lines into neurotoxic A1‐like reactive astrocytes. This transformation is produced by cytokines and is followed by upregulation of PMCA activity and isoform expression, and is closely associated with inflammation, as ...

Mechanical stretching of amyloid Abeta11-42 fibrils using steered molecular dynamics [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Mechanical strength of amyloid beta fibrils has been known to be correlated with neuronal cell death. Here, we resorted to steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations to mechanically stretch a single S-shape amyloid beta Abeta11-42 dodecamer fibril in vacuum.

The interplay of intrinsic disorder and macromolecular crowding on {\alpha}-synuclein fibril formation

, 2016
{\alpha}-synuclein ({\alpha}-syn) is an intrinsically disordered protein which is considered to be one of the causes of Parkinson's disease. This protein forms amyloid fibrils when in a highly concentrated solution.

Calcium modulating ligand confers risk for Parkinson's disease and impacts lysosomes

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Several genetic loci known to confer risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) function in lysosomal pathways. We systematically screened common variants linked to PD risk by genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for impact on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins reflecting lysosomal function.

Amyloid Fibrils and Their Applications: Current Status and Latest Developments

Nanomaterials
Amyloid fibrils are one of the important forms of protein aggregates, first discovered in the pathological brain tissues of patients with various neurodegenerative diseases. They are considered the core pathological markers of different neurodegenerative

H-alpha features with hot onsets. II. A contrail fibril

, 2016
The solar chromosphere observed in H-alpha consists mostly of narrow fibrils. The longest typically originate in network or plage and arch far over adjacent internetwork.

A 14‐Year Study of Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein and Total Tau in Premanifest Huntington's

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is a pressing need for blood biomarkers that can identify Huntington's disease (HD) gene carriers' proximity to manifest disease. We previously examined serial serum neurofilament light (NfL) concentrations in 21 premanifest HD gene carriers and 14 controls over 14 years, finding that NfL demonstrates high prognostic value and distinct ...
