Chevron shape of TDP-43 in FTLD points to distinct arrangements of TDP-43 as distinguishing feature between neurodegenerative diseases

Published on 21 August, 2023

As previously seen in tau and α-synuclein, Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon’s group have determined that TDP-43 forms distinct amyloid arrangements in different neurodegenerative diseases. They describe the structure of filaments of TDP-43 in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) as a chevron shape, markedly different from the double spiral shape they previously identified from brains of those with a form […]

The ‘Unknome’ genes which make up a fifth of the human genome

Published on 18 August, 2023

Sean Munro’s group in the LMB’s Cell Biology Division, and Matthew Freeman at the Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, have built the ‘Unknome’ database, which ranks human genes based on how much is known about them. They found that surprisingly little is known about an estimated fifth of the human genome, and that […]
