Amyloid Research labCheck out our new preprint titled "Diverse effects of fluorescent labels on alpha-synuclein condensate formation during liquid-liquid phase separation"
Hello Mastodon,
Our first post is about Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) phenomena, during which proteins form liquid droplets, followed by amyloid aggregation. LLPS is observed in neurodegenerative disorders, cancers and certain cases is related to protein functions in the cell nucleus. Watch below as alpha-synuclein, a protein linked to Parkinson's disease, undergoes LLPS.
