Abstract α-synuclein (αSyn) is the main protein component of Lewy bodies, intracellular inclusions found in the brain of Parkinson’s disease

Authors Rosado-Ramos R, Godinho-Pereira J, Marques D, Figueira I, Fleming Outeiro T, Menezes R, Nunes Dos Santos C Journal Molecules Citation Molecules. 2021 Jun 2;26(11):3353. Abstract Phenolic compounds are thought to be important to prevent neurodegenerative diseases (ND). Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder known for its typical motor

Authors Kloos M, Sharma A, Enderlein J, Diederichsen U Journal Journal of Peptide Science Citation J Pept Sci. 2021 Jun 2:e3355. Abstract β-Peptides are known to form 14-helices with high conformational rigidity, helical persistence length, and well-defined spacing and orientation regularity of amino acid side chains. Therefore, β-peptides are well

Authors Willig KI, Wegner W, Müller A, Calvet-Fournier V, Steffens H Journal Cell Reports Citation Cell Reports. 2021 Jun 1; 35 (9) 109192. Abstract Despite the tremendous success of super-resolution microscopy, multi-color in vivo applications are still rare. Here we present live-cell multi-label STED microscopy in vivo and in vitro

Authors Klemp HG, Kettwig M, Streit F, Gärtner J, Rosewich H, Krätzner R Journal Metabolites Citation Metabolites. 2021 May 29;11(6):347. Abstract Peroxisomes are central hubs for cell metabolism and their dysfunction is linked to devastating human disorders, such as peroxisomal biogenesis disorders and single peroxisomal enzyme/protein deficiencies. For decades, biochemical
