Application of Tau PFFs and Alpha-Synuclein PFFs in Neurodegenerative Disease Research
Pre-formed fibrils (PFFs) of tau and α-synuclein are essential tools for studying neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. They mimic abnormal protein aggregation, enabling researchers to model disease progression. This application note provides detailed protocols for introducing PFFs into cell-based models, offering practical guidance for investigating protein aggregation and pathology development.

| | There is new evidence that the cells responsible for communication in the brain may be structured differently in children with autism. Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester discovered that in some areas of the brain neuron density varies in children with autism when compared to the general population. | | | | Demonstrating its commitment to excellence as a member of the Association of American Universities and number one in the state for National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding, the University of Miami has pledged to invest more than $30 million to bolster basic science research that will target neuroscience and aging, some of the most complex conditions confronting the United States population, including in South Florida. | | | | A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey. | | | | Lewy bodies are a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other related neurological conditions. Understanding why and how they develop is critical to developing better treatments. | | | | Research highlights how cholesterol imbalances in the brain contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's, suggesting targeted therapeutic interventions. | | | | A major new study released by The Lancet Neurology shows that, in 2021, more than 3 billion people worldwide were living with a neurological condition. | | | | In the space of just a few seconds, a person walking down a city block might check their phone, yawn, worry about making rent, and adjust their path to avoid a puddle. | |
