Unraveling the complexity of amyloid polymorphism using gold nanoparticles and cryo-EM

Hilal Lashuel, Anass Chiki, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Marie Mueller, Zekiye Pelin Güven, Sophie Vieweg, Urszula Beata Cendrowska

Increasing evidence suggests that amyloid polymorphism gives rise to different strains of amyloids with distinct toxicities and pathology-spreading properties. Validating this hypothesis is challenging due to a lack of tools and methods that allow for the ...

Oligomerization Profile of Human Transthyretin Variants with Distinct Amyloidogenicity

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

One of the molecular hallmarks of amyloidoses is ordered protein aggregation involving the initial formation of soluble protein oligomers that eventually grow into insoluble fibrils. The identification and characterization of molecular species critical for ...

Expert recommendation from the Swiss Amyloidosis Network (SAN) for systemic AL-amyloidosis

Alessio Mylonas, Andrea Cavalli, Martin Meyer

Systemic amyloidosis is a heterogeneous group of diseases associated with protein misfolding into insoluble beta-sheet rich structures that deposit extracellularly in different organs, eventually compromising their function. There are more than 30 differen ...

Single-molecule studies of amyloid proteins: from biophysical properties to diagnostic perspectives

Chan Cao

In neurodegenerative diseases, a wide range of amyloid proteins or peptides such as amyloid-beta and alpha-synuclein fail to keep native functional conformations, followed by misfolding and self-assembling into a diverse array of aggregates. The aggregates ...

Diffusion MRI biomarkers of white matter microstructure vary nonmonotonically with increasing cerebral amyloid deposition

Ileana Ozana Jelescu

Beta amyloid (A beta) accumulation is the earliest pathological marker of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but early AD pathology also affects white matter (WM) integrity. We performed a cross-sectional study including 44 subjects (23 healthy controls and 21 mild ...

A simple, versatile and robust centrifugation-based filtration protocol for the isolation and quantification of alpha-synuclein monomers, oligomers and fibrils: Towards improving experimental reproducibility in alpha-synuclein research

Hilal Lashuel, Anass Chiki, Sonia Donzelli, Muhammed Muazzam Kamil Syed

Increasing evidence suggests that the process of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) aggregation from monomers into amyloid fibrils and Lewy bodies, via oligomeric intermediates plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of different synucleinopathies, including ...

Nanoscale Characterization of Amyloid Fibrils and Biomacromolecules by Atomic Force Microscopy Approaches

Jiangtao Zhou

This thesis focuses on the interdisciplinary biophysical research field, in which physical approaches are applied to study the biological phenomena. Specifically, the main object of the research in this thesis is to target biological species,especially the ...

Discovery of 2-(4-(2-fluoroethoxy)piperidin-1-yl)-9-methyl-9H-pyrrolo[2,3-b:4,5-c']dipyridine ([18F]PI-2014) as PET tracer for the detection of pathological aggregated tau in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies

Andrea Pfeifer

The compound screening was initiated with a direct staining assay to identify compounds binding to Tau aggregates and not Abeta plaques using human brain sections derived from late stage Alzheimer's disease donors. The binding of Tau aggregate selective co ...

The Clustering of mApoE Anti-Amyloidogenic Peptide on Nanoparticle Surface Does Not Alter Its Performance in Controlling Beta-Amyloid Aggregation

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva

The deposition of amyloid-beta (A beta) plaques in the brain is a significant pathological signature of Alzheimer's disease, correlating with synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Several compounds, peptides, or drugs have been designed to redirect o ...

How specific are the conformation-specific α-synuclein antibodies? Characterization and validation of 16 α-synuclein conformation-specific antibodies using well-characterized preparations of α-synuclein monomers, fibrils and oligomers with distinct structures and morphology

Hilal Lashuel, Somanath Jagannath

Increasing evidence suggests that alpha-synuclein (α-syn) oligomers are obligate intermediates in the pathway involved in α-syn fibrillization and Lewy body (LB) formation, and may also accumulate within LBs in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleino ...

De novo protein design enables the precise induction of RSV-neutralizing antibodies

Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Luciano Andres Abriata, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Elisa Oricchio, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Fabian Sesterhenn, Che Yang, Sabrina Susan Vollers, Mélanie Evelyne Villard, Elie Charles Eugène Dheilly, Stéphane Rosset, Yujia Wang

De novo protein design has been successful in expanding the natural protein repertoire. However, most de novo proteins lack biological function, presenting a major methodological challenge. In vaccinology, the induction of precise antibody responses remain ...
