🦠What if viruses could act as "vehicles" for toxic brain proteins in neurodegenerative diseases? Our new preprint shows that lentiviral particles efficiently package and transmit seeding-competent tau in a cellular model, providing insights into how viral infections may drive neurodegeneration.

Structural & functional analysis revealed that the extracellular #chaperone #clusterin functions through two tails in preventing protein aggregation. ❕Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... ❕Press Release: www.biochem.mpg.de/structure-of... #Alzheimers @natsmb.nature.com @pyustecheca.bsky.social

Curious about the structure and functional analysis of one of the most abundant and enigmatic extracellular #chaperones and one of the highest genetic risk factor for developing late onset #Alzheimer’s disease? Check out our paper on Clusterin/ApoJ! #proteostasis #apolipoprotein rdcu.be/ezRLv
