Study Identifies Single Hydrophobic Hotspot Driving Tau Protein Misfolding Propagation

Diseases such as Alzheimer's and frontotemporal dementia are considered neurodegenerative tauopathies, in which tau proteins in the brain misfold and lead to cognitive decline. Until now, it has been unclear how misfolded tau recruits other seemingly healthy tau and causes it to misfold and clump.

Transcriptional Repression Mechanism Prevents Protective Immune Pathways From Triggering Autoimmunity

A preclinical study by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center has discovered how a protein called ZBTB44 helps prevent excessive immune activity that can cause inflammation in the colon, the main section of the large intestine. The findings, published in Nature Immunology, may help explain how immune responses go awry in a range of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases
