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 ...

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),

Beyond the Known and Established Neurodegenerative Effects: Roles of APOE Across a Wide Spectrum of Pathophysiological Condition

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
APOE is widely recognized for its role in neurodegeneration and cardiovascular disease, but its different genotypes also influence body composition, affecting obesity, bone density, and muscle mass, through their central role in lipid transport and metabolism.

Investigating the structural basis of surfactant protein D oligomerization: The crucial role of Cys15‐Cys15/Cys20‐Cys20 disulfide bond linkage

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Surfactant protein D (SP‐D) plays a vital role in innate immunity by recognizing and binding to glycans on the surfaces of various pathogens. The oligomerization of SP‐D into dodecameric structures enhances its pathogen‐binding and antiviral activities.

Biophysical assessment of the molecular mechanisms of Tau aggregation and its role in Alzheimer's disease

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the intracellular aggregation of the microtubule‐associated protein Tau. While the presence of large, insoluble neurofibrillary tangles has long been the primary focus of this research, a paradigm shift in the field now highlights smaller, soluble oligomers as the more neurotoxic Tau species leading
