Researchers develop most comprehensive database for the study of protein aggregation

Researchers at the IBB-UAB have developed the most comprehensive database available to date to help understand the basis of protein aggregation, a phenomenon associated with ageing and several pathologies. The new resource, A3D-MOBD [1], brings together the proteomes of 12 of the most studied model organisms which cover distant biological clades and contains over half […]

alpha synuclein

Dual role of alpha-synuclein in calcium regulation may have major implications for Parkinson’s disease process

The protein alpha-synuclein (aSN) has long been known as a main cause in Parkinson’s disease and Lewy Body Dementia, for example, when it forms lumpy protein aggregates that destroy cell function – but aSN in its natural form, without clumping, has not had a concrete, known function.
