  2. 1. α-synuclein interactions with lipid membranes

    Author : Katarzyna Makasewicz; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; alpha-Synuclein; lipid membranes; protein-lipid interactions; binding cooperativity; membrane remodeling; protei-lipid co-aggregation;

    Abstract : α-synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein implicated in synaptic vesicle trafficking at the synapse. Accumulation of α-synuclein in the form of amyloid deposits coincides with the loss of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinsons disease. READ MORE

  5. 3. alpha-synuclein: amyloid fibrils and interactions with lipid membranes

    Author : Marija Dubackic; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; alpha-synuclein; model lipid membranes; amyloid fibrils; Parkinson s disease; Lewy bodies; SANS; SAXS;

    Abstract : The second most common neurodegenerative disease, Parkinson’s disease, is linked with an amyloid forming protein, alpha-synuclein. Hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease are progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons and accumulation of intraneuronal inclusions termed Lewy bodies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Interaction of Calcium Ions with Lipid Membranes

    Author : Baharan Ali Doosti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phospholipid bilayer membrane; membrane dynamics; micromanipulation; calcium ions; cell migration.; membrane nanotube; membrane tubular protrusions; calcium ion concentration gradient; membrane bending; giant unilamellar vesicle;

    Abstract : Bilayer membranes enclose and shield the biological cell and its inner compartments, as well as the tubular networks that exist within and between the cells. Due to their fluidic nature, the membranes are incredibly dynamic and flexible, which allows them to bend, reshape and fuse in response to mechanical and chemical stimuli within their natural microenvironments.
