Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are emerging as unique dietary supplements that are potentially relevant for the amelioration of brain dysfunctions. MCT are converted into ketones and free medium chain fatty acids that, in the brain, are highly effective ...

Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expansion of a CAG triplet repeat (encoding for a polyglutamine tract) within the first exon of the huntingtin gene. Expression of the mutant huntingtin (mHTT) protein can r ...

A variety of methods have been employed to study the impact of posttranslational modifications on Tau protein function. Here, a semisynthesis strategy is described that enables selective modification within the central repeat domain of Tau4 (residues 291-3 ...

The causes of impaired skeletal muscle mass and strength during aging are well-studied in healthy populations. Less is known on pathological age-related muscle wasting and weakness termed sarcopenia, which directly impacts physical autonomy and survival. H ...

We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of neurochemical profiling of embryonic mouse brain developments in utero and to seek potential in vivo evidence of an energy shift in a mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) deficient mouse model. C57BL/6 embryonic m ...

Intracellular deposits of α-synuclein in the form of Lewy bodies are major hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and a range of related neurodegenerative disorders. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of α-synuclein are increasingly thought to be major ...

A compelling link is emerging between the posttranslational modification O-GlcNAc and protein aggregation. A prime example is alpha-synuclein, which forms toxic aggregates that are associated with neurodegeneration in Parkinson's and related diseases. alph ...

Huntington’s Disease (HD) is an inherited fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG expansion (36) in the first exon of the HD gene, resulting in the expression of the Huntingtin protein (Htt) or N-terminal fragments thereof with an expanded polygl ...

The microtubule-associated protein Tau plays a central role in neurodegeneration and is a leading therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Several lines of evidence suggest that post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate the ...

Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases whose common pathological feature is the intraneuronal accumulation of tau aggregates. Tau protein has various roles in the neuron, among which stabilization of microtubules (MT), regulation of synaptic activity o ...

Herein, we used protein semisynthesis to investigate, for the first time, the effect of lysine acetylation and phosphorylation, as well as the crosstalk between these modifications on the structure and aggregation of mutant huntingtin exon1 (Httex1). Our r ...

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a fatal hypomyelinating disorder characterized by early impairment of motor development, nystagmus, choreoathetotic movements, ataxia and progressive spasticity. PMD is caused by variations in the proteolipid protein g ...
