Discovery of a factor that accelerates protein deliveries to the endoplasmic reticulum
Huping Wang and Manu Hegde, in the LMB’s Cell Biology Division, have found a factor that helps nascent secretory and membrane proteins quickly access the protein translocation machinery when they arrive at the endoplasmic reticulum.
Advancing technologies take centre stage at Next Generation Biophysics Symposium
The LMB was delighted to once again host the Next Generation Biophysics where several distinguished speakers discussed cutting-edge biophysical techniques.
Cryo-ET reveals new molecular insights into tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease
Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon’s group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division have used cryo-ET to discover that tau filaments are tethered to the membranes of extracellular vesicles in Alzheimer’s disease. These findings introduce membrane tethering of amyloid filaments as a potential target to interfere with their accumulation in disease.
