Using advanced high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the team was able to observe Aβ fibril growth at the molecular level in real time. The work is published in the Journal of the American ...

For each structural strain of tau fibrils, they identified amino acids without which the strain cannot form its signature ...

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 ...

In both synthetic and human systems, fibril production is typically an irreversible process. Recently, professors Lu Su of Leiden University in the Netherlands and Shikha Dhiman of Johannes ...
