When Host Proteins Coat Virus, Amyloid Fibrils Form
Viral surfaces attract proteins from the extracellular environment of the person they infect. This corona of host proteins makes the virus more or less infective—and promotes amyloid fibrils.

New potential immunotherapies and insight into single-cell responses were highlights of a small meeting in Denmark.
Research on postmortem human brain strengthens the idea that an ebbing of neurogenesis may underlie cognitive decline.
Thousands of stretches of the genome go undetected by standard short-read sequencing techniques. Unmasking these “dark regions” revealed a potential AD risk variant in the CR1 gene.
Using single-nuclei or cell sorting, three separate research groups sequenced RNA from human postmortem brains. They unveiled AD-associated gene-expression signatures, but disease-related transcriptomes from human microglia were quite different from those in mice.
Antisense Oligonucleotides: Can They Take on ALS, SMA, Prions? Drug Reported to Help Alzheimer’s Patients Sleep Better American Academy of Neurology 2019 Annual Meeting
Data on ASOs, presented recently at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, depict RNA-based therapies as broadly on the rise in neurodegenerative diseases.
In a new, inducible mouse model, poly(GR) damages mitochondria, but its effect is reversible. In flies, turning off transcription of hexanucleotide expansion protects cells.
