A synthetic genetic tool called yTRAP allows high-throughput detection of protein aggregates in cells.
 

By stifling autophagy in the motor neurons of a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), scientists stem later-stage disease progression.

Contrary to years of research suggesting otherwise, most aggregated proteins regain their shape and functionality following heat shock.

Researchers show that pathogenic protein aggregates that accumulate within neurons and are a hallmark of Huntington’s disease can propagate from cell to cell.

Researchers earn applause after recalling two papers containing misinterpreted findings.
