Investigating the role of protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases using super-resolution imaging
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, are characterised by the progressive, irreversible loss of neuronal tissue accompanied by protein aggregation in the brain. Although identified as a leading pathology, the role of protein aggregates in the pathogenesis …

An interdisciplinary approach to studying mechanistic, structural and toxic features of protein aggregates associated with neurodegenerative disorders.
… fifty human disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, all of which are currently incurable and many represent a major threat to human life. The mechanism of protein aggregation is subject to extensive studies. The damaging effects associated with protein aggregation have been …

Assessing the impact of N-terminal acetylation on the aggregation of alpha-synuclein and its disease-related mutants
Parkinson’s disease is associated with the aberrant aggregation of α-synuclein within neurons. Although the causes of this process are still unclear, post-translational modifications of α-synuclein are likely to play a modulatory role. Since α-synuclein is constitutively N-terminally acetylated, we …
