The equilibrium between solubility and aggregation of proteins in the nucleus is controlled by co-aggregates like RNA and the action of ATP as both an energy source and a destabilizing chemical agent.
Development of nanoluciferase complementation-based tau biosensors to detect tau conformational change and oligomerization in living cells in high-throughput assays.
Constitutive activation of an innate immunity response in mouse brain causes degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, suggesting novel targets for potentially neuroprotective strategies.
