Membrane organization is essential for cellular functions such as signal transduction and membrane trafficking. A major challenge is to understand the lateral heterogeneous structures in membranes and membrane fluidity in the presence of…
Identifying amyloid-beta positive patients is crucial for determining eligibility for Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials and new disease-modifying treatments, but currently requires PET or CSF sampling. Previous MRI-based deep…
Background: Beta-amyloid (A$\beta$) plaques and tau protein tangles in the brain are the defining 'A' and 'T' hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and together with structural atrophy detectable on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)…
Analyzing kinetic experiments on protein aggregation using integrated rate laws has led to numerous advances in our understanding of the fundamental chemical mechanisms behind amyloidogenic disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's…
Accurate modeling of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease is essential for early stratification and personalized management. While tabular predictors provide robust markers of global risk, their ability to capture subtle brain changes…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (A$\beta$) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) proteins, leading to cognitive decline measured by the Alzheimer's Disease…
Structural MRI-to-amyloid PET synthesis has been proposed as a non-invasive alternative for amyloid assessment in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, reported performance of identical models varies widely across studies, and increasingly…
Short peptides with antimicrobial activity have therapeutic potential for treating bacterial infections. Mechanisms of actions for antimicrobial peptides require binding the biological membrane of their target, which often represents a key…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is reported as one of the most severe health and socioeconomic problems in current public health. Tau proteins are assumed to be a crucial driving factor of AD that detach from…
Protein phase transitions govern numerous diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. In Parkinson's disease, distinct species of the protein alpha-synuclein undergo phase transitions from highly…
Soluble alpha-amylases play an important role in the catabolism of polysaccharides. In this work, we show that the enzyme can interact with the lipid membrane and further alter its mechanical properties. Vesicle fluctuation spectroscopy is…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) persists as a paramount challenge in neurological research, characterized by the pathological hallmarks of amyloid-beta (Abeta) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau. This review…
Alzheimer's disease is characterised by the spreading of misfolded proteins and progressive structural changes in the brain. Despite significant clinical research, understanding how microscopic protein dynamics translate into macroscopic…
The determination of the folding mechanisms of proteins is critical to understand the topological change that can propagate Alzheimer and Creutzfeld-Jakobs diseases, among others. The computational community has paid considerable attention…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-specific neurodegenerative disease that compromises cognitive functioning and impacts the quality of life of an individual. Pathologically, AD is characterised by abnormal accumulation of beta-amyloid…
The intrinsic property of proteins to form structural motifs such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets leads to a complex phase behavior in which proteins can assemble into various types of aggregates including crystals, liquidlike phases of…
The immuno-infrared sensor detects target proteins in solution. Exemplary, the initial misfolding of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptides in blood is measured, enabling early risk prediction of Alzheimer's disease in the preclinical stage.…
Mechanotransduction, the biological response to mechanical stress, is often initiated by the activation of mechanosensitive (MS) proteins upon mechanically induced deformations of the cell membrane. A current challenge to fully understand…
Mathematical modeling offers a valuable approach to understanding Alzheimers disease (AD) given its complexity, unknown causes, and lack of effective treatments. Models, once validated, offer a powerful tool to test medical hypotheses that…
Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease that is the most common form of dementia, but there is still no definitive cure for this disease. The noninvasive X-ray Phase Contrast Tomography (XPCT) imaging technique was used to study brain…
