Nanoparticle-Augmented Spectroscopy Reveals Structure of Alzheimer's Disease Peptide
The use of lipid bilayer-encapsulated silver nanoparticles to increase the sensitivity of a Raman spectroscopy technique allowed researchers to determine the structure of Alzheimer's disease-related membrane-attached oligomers of amyloid-beta40 peptide. More...06 Sep 2015
Long Strands of Repetitive RNA Found to Cause Severe Neurodegenerative Disorders
Neurologists seeking the molecular basis for degenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia have linked a mutation in the C9orf72 gene to the malfunction of a protein that normally transports molecules through the nuclear membrane and into the cell's cytoplasm.

Selective Ribosome-Targeting Drug with Low Ototoxicity Could Provide Safer Treatment Option for Leishmaniasis
In a multidisciplinary biological study, researchers have shed new light on the mechanism of action of a potent drug for leishmaniasis, the natural aminoglycoside paromomycin, and have found that a new synthetic derivative of PAR may provide a far lower risk of irreversible hearing loss side-effects, probably via its more selective targeting of cytosolic (vs. mitochondrial) ribosomes.
