A chance to catch up on structural biology in neuroscience at #dri imperial today. Im going to talk about our work on amyloid beta neurotoxicity assessed using cryo soft X-ray tomography. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38471506/
Correlative cryo-soft X-ray tomography and cryo-structured illumination microscopy reveal changes to lysosomes in amyloid-β-treated neurons - PubMed
Protein misfolding is common to neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) including Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is partly characterized by the self-assembly and accumulation of amyloid-beta in the brain. L...
