Our latest paper by @Catherine_k_xu
- secondary nucleation is the source of both oligomers and fibrils in Parkinson's associated a-Synuclein aggregation. Fantastic collaboration with Linse lab
@SpillantiniLab and @VendruscoloLab

New paper from @Catherine_k_xu @KnowlesLabCamb & collaborators reports secondary nucleation as not only the key source of a-synuclein oligomers, "but also the main mechanism of aggregate formation"; The process can occur under neutral pH & ionic strength

Our work on predicting the composition of biomolecular condensates — cellular complexes that regulate processes, such as signalling, gene expression and stress response — together with a comprehensive proteome-scale atlas is now published in @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Outcome of a great collaboration with @VendruscoloLab is now published! Well done @eaandrzejewska.
Super psyched to see this published at last! We demonstrate a novel approach to slowing alpha-synuclein aggregation in #Parkinsons. A massive thank you to the @VendruscoloLab, @KnowlesLabCamb, Caughey, Ghetti and Sormanni labs.

Check out the great work of @georg_meisl and Alex!
Check out our new PNAS paper pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3865… Using a method originally developed in astronomy, we determine the half lives of all proteins in a cells, in a single set of experiments. Congrats to Alex & everyone involved on a really cool paper! @KnowlesLabCamb @PNASNews

Check our new paper on Ab42 self-replication! Well done @georg_meisl, great collaboration with @SaricLab !
New🌶️: Amyloid self-replication occurs on small & rare “catalytic sites” on the fibril.
Work of Samo, who came for @EUErasmusPlus and stayed for MS & PhD...some things take time;). Great fun with @KnowlesLabCamb @MichaelsLabETH @georg_meisl 🪩pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…
