Limitations of the three putative mechanisms of amyloid fibril assembly for explaining Sup35 prion formation have led to the introduction of a fourth model — nucleated conformational conversion — that ...

The new findings, which are being published the week of February 12 in an online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offer significant insights into normal folding ...

Researchers use peptide arrays to investigate questions about prion recognition, amyloid fibril nucleation and the sequence basis for species barriers. Ever since the 'mad cow' disease epidemic in ...

Care of patients with systemic immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis has undergone transformative changes, leading to marked, steady progress in outcomes for patients over the past four decades.

Your DNA is composed of over 20,000 “coding genes,” which determine pretty much everything to do with your body and mind — from the color of your hair follicles to your cells’ ability to repair and ...
