Abstract Oligomeric assemblies of amyloidogenic proteins, such as Aβ, tau, α‐synuclein, amylin, transthyretin, and TDP‐43, are increasingly recognized as key drivers of cellular dysfunction across a range of neurodegenerative and systemic disorders.

Abstract Alpha‐synuclein (αSyn) is a presynaptic protein associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. While the non‐amyloid component (NAC) region of the αSyn sequence (residues 65–90) forms the core of all αSyn fibrils, recent findings suggest that the flanking regions play a key role in initiating or preventing amyloid formation. Two motifs in

Abstract Protein misfolding is linked to many neurodegenerative diseases. In some cases, misfolding can propagate through a prion‐like mechanism whereby natively folded molecules are converted into more copies of the misfolded isoform. Prion‐like propagation of misfolding is an attractive therapeutic target, but difficulties with assaying conversion ...

CADASIL is the major cause of early‐onset stroke and cognitive dysfunction, including dementia. It is caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 receptor that result in the formation of protein aggregates in the small vessel walls of the brain. We demonstrated that NOTCH3 CADASIL variant receptor aggregation is strictly dependent on interactions with NOTCH3 ...
