Advanced fluorescence imaging of in situ protein aggregation.
The aggregation of intrinsically disordered proteins is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Although we currently have a good molecular level understanding on how...

Machine learning assisted interferometric structured illumination microscopy for dynamic biological imaging.
Structured Illumination Microscopy, SIM, is one of the most powerful optical imaging methods available to visualize biological environments at subcellular resolution. Its limitations stem from a difficulty of imaging in multiple...

An Easy-to-Implement Protocol for Preparing Postnatal Ventral Mesencephalic Cultures.
Postnatally derived cultures of ventral mesencephalic neurons offer several crucial advantages over embryonic ventral mesencephalic cultures, including a higher content of TH-positive cells and the ability to derive cells from...

Mitochondrial degradation of amyloidogenic proteins - A new perspective for neurodegenerative diseases.
This perspective article outlines mechanisms of mitochondrial import and protein degradation and how these have been linked to alpha-synuclein and Amyloid beta (Aβ) homeostasis. Our aim is to underpin and stimulate the debate on...

A label-free, quantitative assay of amyloid fibril growth based on intrinsic fluorescence.
Kinetic assay of seeded growth: The graph shows the variation in intrinsic fluorescence intensity of amyloid fibrils. Fluorescence increases during the seeded aggregation of α-synuclein seeds with α-synuclein monomeric protein...

Design of a Functionalized Metal-Organic Framework System for Enhanced Targeted Delivery to Mitochondria.
Mitochondria play a key role in oncogenesis and constitute one of the most important targets for cancer treatments. Although the most effective way to deliver drugs to mitochondria is by covalently linking them to a lipophilic...
Structural basis of synaptic vesicle assembly promoted by α-synuclein.
α-synuclein (αS) is an intrinsically disordered protein whose fibrillar aggregates are the major constituents of Lewy bodies in Parkinson's disease. Although the specific function of αS is still unclear, a general consensus is...

Direct observation of heterogeneous amyloid fibril growth kinetics via two-color super-resolution microscopy.
The self-assembly of normally soluble proteins into fibrillar amyloid structures is associated with a range of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. In the present study, we show that...
