Snapshot-Free, Transparent, and Robust Memory Reclamation for Lock-Free Data Structures [PDF]
We present a family of safe memory reclamation schemes, Hyaline, which are fast, scalable, and transparent to the underlying lock-free data structures. Hyaline is based on reference counting - considered impractical for memory reclamation in the past due to high overheads. Hyaline uses reference counters only during reclamation, but not while accessing

A unifying framework for amyloid-mediated membrane damage: The lipid-chaperon hypothesis [PDF]
Over the past thirty years, researchers have highlighted the role played by a class of proteins or polypeptides that forms pathogenic amyloid aggregates in vivo, including i) the amyloid Abeta peptide, which is known to form senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease; ii) alpha-synuclein, responsible for Lewy body formation in Parkinson's disease and iii ...

Phosphatidylserine transport in cell life and death [PDF]
Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a negatively-charged glycerophospholipid found mainly in the plasma membrane (PM) and in the late secretory/endocytic compartments, where it regulates cellular activity and can mediate apoptosis. Export of PS from the endoplasmic reticulum, its site of synthesis, to other compartments, and its transbilayer asymmetry must ...

The formation of misfolded protein aggregates is one of the pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. We have previously demonstrated the cytoplasmic aggregate formation of adenovirally expressed transactivation response DNA‐binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP‐43), the main constituent of neuronal cytoplasmic aggregates in cases of amyotrophic ...
