11. Studies of polyglutamine expanded Ataxin-7 toxicity
Sammanfattning : Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is an autosomal dominant inherited neurodegenerative disease for which there is no cure. SCA7 belongs to the group of polyglutamine disorders, which are all caused by the expansion of a polyglutamine tract in different disease proteins. LÄS MER
12. Exploring small heat shock protein chaperones by crosslinking mass spectrometry
Sammanfattning : Together with other molecular chaperones, small heat shock proteins are key components of the protein quality control system, which is comprised of several hundred proteins and acts to maintain proteome homeostasis in the cell. Small heat shock proteins bind unfolding proteins at an early stage, to prevent these from further unfolding and aggregating. LÄS MER
13. Amyloid-β Protofibril Formation and Neurotoxicity : Implications for Alzheimer’s Disease
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. A characteristic feature of AD is the presence of amyloid plaques in the cortex and hippocampus of the brain. The principal component of these plaques is the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide, a cleavage product from proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP). LÄS MER
14. Polymorphic protein aggregation in tauopathies
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease(s) comprises one of the most common and costly neurodegenerative diseases. With a larger population and an increasing life expectancy, amyloid diseases (with age as one of the most prominent risk factors) will generate an even larger burden on healthcare. LÄS MER
15. NMR studies on interactions between the amyloid β peptide and selected molecules
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer’s disease is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder linked to the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide, a 38-43 residue peptide. The detailed molecular disease mechanism(s) is (are) unknown, but oligomeric Aβ structures are proposed to be involved. LÄS MER
