Novel assay for identifying individuals with synucleinopathies using serum samples

Synucleinopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases caused by the abnormal accumulation α-synuclein, a protein normally found in the brain and neurons. Incorrect folding of α-synuclein leads to formation of 'seeds', which attract more α-synuclein proteins to form larger clumps.

Neanderthal genes shape human noses

Research reports a study on the genetics of facial features in Latin Americans using automatic landmarking of 2D portraits and genome-wide association analysis. The study identified novel regions associated with facial features, including a region in 1q32.3 that shows introgression from Neanderthals and influences nasal height.

Ultra-long protein fibrils are a signature of severe Alzheimer’s disease, study shows

During the course of Alzheimer's disease, protein fibrils appear in the spinal fluid of affected individuals. Empa researchers, together with the Department of Neurology at the Cantonal Hospital in St. Gallen, have now visualized the wide spectrum of protein aggregates from oligomers, protofibrils to fibrils in the spinal fluid.
