The Missing Link in Polyglutamine Diseases [PDF]
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, 2017 Polyglutamine diseases are a group of nine hereditary neurodegenerative disorders and include Huntington disease (HD), the most prevalent spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs type 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 17), dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy and spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (also known as Kennedy disease).

Nanodiamond Quantum Sensors for Probing Free Radical Biology
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 45, 5 June 2026.Free radicals play key roles in cellular signaling and disease but remain difficult to measure in living systems. Nanodiamonds (NDs) with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers enable quantum sensing of local magnetic noise via T₁ relaxometry, providing nondestructive radical detection in living cells.

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.This review surveys recent advances in light‐controlled peptide self‐assembly for the design of smart soft matter. It summarizes the underlying physicochemical principles, including thermodynamic control for reshaping free‐energy landscapes, and nonequilibrium control to produce kinetically trapped states and dissipative structures.

The Effect of Protein Tagging on Aggregation and Phase Separation
Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, Volume 127, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Protein tags are widely used for purification, solubilization, detection, and imaging, yet they can substantially alter protein self‐assembly. This interference is particularly significant for intrinsically disordered proteins and low‐complexity domains, whose aggregation and phase separation are mediated by weak multivalent interactions that ...

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 42, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. This study investigated the effects of alogliptin on DCM and its underlying mechanisms. A DCM model was constructed and treated with alogliptin. Downstream targets of alogliptin were screened using bioinformatics analysis.

Silencing Polyglutamine Degeneration with RNAi [PDF]
Neuron, 2005 Nine dominantly inherited neurodegenerative diseases are caused by expansion of a CAG repeat encoding glutamine. An important development in the study of such "polyglutamine" diseases was the realization that merely shutting off expression of a disease-encoding transgene could arrest progression in animal models with significant disease pathology. Such

Polyglutamine Repeat Length-Dependent Proteolysis of Huntingtin
Neurobiology of Disease, 2002 Amino-terminal fragments of huntingtin, which contain the expanded polyglutamine repeat, have been proposed to contribute to the pathology of Huntington's disease (HD).

Exploring and Targeting the Connection of Iron and Copper Homeostasis to Neurodegenerative Diseases
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.Iron and copper dyshomeostasis, along with their interactions with key intrinsically disordered proteins (e.g., Aβ, tau, α‐synuclein) have a strong implication in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Prion diseases (PrDs), Huntington's disease (HD), Wilson's disease (WD),
