6. Changed iron metabolism and iron toxicity in scrapie-infected neuroblastoma cells
Abstract : Reactions and interactions of iron and oxygen can be both beneficial and detrimental to cells and tissues. Iron is mainly found in our blood where it functions as a mediator in the transport of oxygen to the cells and is further vital for the cellular respiration reducing the oxygen to water. READ MORE

7. Cell type-specific translatome analysis of mouse models of three genetic neurodegenerative diseases
Abstract : The burden neurodegenerative diseases place on patients, their loved ones, and the healthcare system is significant, and despite extensive research efforts, there is currently no cure. Since degenerative changes in the brain can begin years before symptoms appear, early intervention is critical. READ MORE

8. Synthesis and application of β-configured [18/19F]FDGs : Novel prosthetic CuAAC click chemistry fluoroglycosylation tools for amyloid PET imaging and cancer theranostics
Abstract : Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive imaging method that renders three-dimensional images of tissue that selectively has taken up a radiolabelled organic compound, referred to as a radiotracer. This excellent technique provides clinicians with a tool to monitor disease progression and to evaluate how the patient respond to treatment. READ MORE

9. Luminescent molecular recognition of pathognomonic and aging associated protein aggregates
Abstract : Various protein inclusions have been recognized to be associated with aging and pathogenic conditions, such as in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Type 2 diabetes, and the prionoses Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Chronic wasting disease (CWD), and Mad cow disease. The causative transition of protein aggregation is the alteration in the conformation of the protein that renders the protein susceptible towards self-assembly. READ MORE

10. Protein Misfolding in Human Diseases
Abstract : There are several diseases well known that are due to aberrant protein folding. These types of diseases can be divided into three main categories:Loss-of-function diseasesGain-of-toxic-function diseasesInfectious misfolding diseases Most loss-of-function diseases are caused by aberrant folding of important proteins.
