Molecular pathology of neurodegenerative diseases by cryo-EM of amyloids
Abnormal assembly of tau, α-synuclein, TDP-43 and amyloid-β proteins into amyloid
filaments defines most human neurodegenerative diseases. Genetics provides a direct link …

Pathological structural conversion of α-synuclein at the mitochondria induces neuronal toxicity
Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) drives Parkinson's disease (PD), although the initial
stages of self-assembly and structural conversion have not been directly observed inside …

Small soluble α-synuclein aggregates are the toxic species in Parkinson's disease
Soluble α-synuclein aggregates varying in size, structure, and morphology have been
closely linked to neuronal death in Parkinson's disease. However, the heterogeneity of …

Widespread occurrence of the droplet state of proteins in the human proteome
A wide range of proteins have been reported to condensate into a dense liquid phase,
forming a reversible droplet state. Failure in the control of the droplet state can lead to the …

The release of toxic oligomers from α-synuclein fibrils induces dysfunction in neuronal cells
The self-assembly of α-synuclein (αS) into intraneuronal inclusion bodies is a key
characteristic of Parkinson's disease. To define the nature of the species giving rise to …
