One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the clumping of proteins called Tau, which form tangled fibrils in the brain.

To date, approaches to treatments for Alzheimer's disease have not addressed the contribution of protein insolubility as a general phenomenon, instead focusing on one or two insoluble proteins.

When proteins are made in a cell, they start out as strings of amino acids, which have to be folded into the correct, three-dimensional shape so they will function properly. Misfolded proteins can ...

Albumin is the most common protein in the blood, a vital molecule produced by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance and ...

A study suggests overactive VCP may contribute to ALS nerve damage by disrupting nuclear pore proteins in genetic ALS.

The consequence of low blood protein depends on how low the protein becomes, which protein is low, and the cause of the low protein. Having a correct level of protein in the blood is essential for ...
