Extracellular vesicles in TDP-43 proteinopathies: pathogenesis and biomarker potential - Molecular Neurodegeneration Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed nanoparticles released by most cell types, and from multiple sub-cellular compartments. They carry a range of cargo biomolecules, including protein a...

How do biomolecular condensates achieve their cellular roles? It comes down to their internal structure. 🧵⬇️

We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas lunch together and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025, filled with exciting discoveries!

Short RNA chaperones promote aggregation-resistant TDP-43 conformers to mitigate neurodegeneration Aberrant aggregation of the prion-like, RNA-binding protein TDP-43 underlies several debilitating neurodegenerative proteinopathies, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we define how ...
