A transcriptome-based metric for aging reveals a longevity mechanism that specifically prolongs the duration of young adulthood rather than slowing overall aging.
Adam JM Wollman, Sviatlana Shashkova ... Mark C Leake
Transcription factors form clusters independently of the presence of DNA, which regulate target genes as opposed to individual monomers, addressing a longstanding question of how transcription factors can find gene targets so quickly.
A new native prion protein aggregation assay shows that syntaxin-6, a risk factor for sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, delays prion protein fibril formation and prolongs the presence of toxic aggregation intermediates.

The high affinity α-synuclein-monomer binder AS69 converts into a strong sub-stoichiometric inhibitor of nucleation processes upon formation of the AS69-α-synuclein complex, achieving reduced aggregation in vitro and in vivo.
