Okay, so I'm not switching completely to #teamtomo Helical reconstruction of #amyloids can be quite fun when you get beautiful structures like this! And thanks to @sjorsscheres.bsky.social for the suggestion of higher order symmetries, it was indeed the case 😉🧪🧬🧶

Molecular cooperation at the threshold of life

Protein-like aggregates known as amyloids can bind to molecules of genetic material. It is possible that these two types of molecules stabilized each other during the development of life—and that this might even have paved the way for the genetic code.

Read tomorrow's Nature to find out what we think 7 years of solving #cryoEM structures of brain-derived #amyloids has taught us about neurodegeneration, and where to go from here. With Michel Goedert and Ben Ryskeldi-Falcon; very grateful to present and past group members.

Coming Thursday, we have a big review coming out about our work on #cryoEM structures of #amyloids in the past 6-7 years. I will promote on Twitter, Mastodon and BlueSky, and analyse interactions on the different platforms.

“Investigating this further, the researchers found antibodies in the three patients that bound specifically to ATTR amyloid deposits in mouse and human tissue and to synthetic ATTR amyloid. No such antibodies were present in 350 other patients in the cohort with a typical clinical course.” #dna #Amyloids #isogg #geneadons #ucl https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-06-devastating-heart-condition-reversed.html
Devastating heart condition can be reversed, study shows for the first time

Three men who had heart failure caused by the build-up of sticky, toxic proteins are now free of symptoms after their condition spontaneously reversed in an unprecedented case described by a team at UCL (University College London) and the Royal Free Hospital.
