New insights into protein aggregation in Alzheimer’s disease

External

Stefania_Mari_NanoLetters2018

The biophysics group of the D-BSSE together with researchers from Harvard Medical School and Max-Planck-Society describe that the human protein tau interacts with brain lipids where it aggregates in a cation-dependent and reversible manner. Aggregation of tau relates to neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s. The study appeared in Nano Letters on 12 April.
