Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Improvement of pest resistance in transgenic tobacco plants expressing dsRNA of an insect-associated gene EcR. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The adoption of pest-resistant transgenic plants to reduce yield loss and pesticide utilization has been successful in the past three decades. Recently, transgenic plant expressing double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targeting pest genes emerges as a promising ...

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Drought Tolerance in Transgenic Potato Cultivar IPB CP1 Expressing MmCuZn-SOD Gene
Hayati Journal of BiosciencesDrought stress induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, which is harmful to plant cells. Consequently, it inhibits plant growth and decreases yield. The enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which is encoded by the SOD gene, is the first defence

Plant Biotechnology: Transgenic Crops
, 2008 Transgenesis is an important adjunct to classical plant breeding, in that it allows the targeted manipulation of specific characters using genes from a range of sources. The current status of crop transformation is reviewed, including methods of gene transfer, the selection of transformed plants and control of transgene expression.

Aβ42 promotes the aggregation of α‐synuclein splice isoforms via heterogeneous nucleation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aggregation of amyloid‐β (Aβ) and α‐synuclein (αSyn) is associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. This study reveals that Aβ aggregates serve as potent nucleation sites for the aggregation of αSyn and its splice isoforms, shedding light on the intricate interplay between these two pathogenic proteins.
