Physicists reveal new paradigm for fiber growth in neurodegenerative diseases
Some proteins that are linked to neurodegenerative diseases can form both liquid droplets and amyloid fibers. But how are these two states connected, and where do the fibers grow? Leiden physicists Liru Feng and Louise Jawerth have discovered a counter-intuitive mechanism.
We haven't written up this one. Phys.org has the full story — the link below goes straight to it.
