Great to see increasing understanding of medin and it's potential role.
Look at those beautiful fibrils 🧬

New medin study from Braja & the Switch lab - now out as a preprint!
🔬 New Preprint on bioRxiv!

📄 "Medin drives Aβ40 to adopt Aβ42‑like fibril polymorphs in vitro"

🧠 Alzheimer’s | 🧩 Amyloids | 🧬 Cryo-EM
