Our latest paper by @Catherine_k_xu
- secondary nucleation is the source of both oligomers and fibrils in Parkinson's associated a-Synuclein aggregation. Fantastic collaboration with Linse lab
@SpillantiniLab and @VendruscoloLab

New paper from @Catherine_k_xu@KnowlesLabCamb & collaborators reports secondary nucleation as not only the key source of a-synuclein oligomers, "but also the main mechanism of aggregate formation"; The process can occur under neutral pH & ionic strength

Super psyched to see this published at last! We demonstrate a novel approach to slowing alpha-synuclein aggregation in #Parkinsons. A massive thank you to the @VendruscoloLab, @KnowlesLabCamb, Caughey, Ghetti and Sormanni labs.

Check out our new PNAS paper https://t.co/4QXOlMuNud Using a method originally developed in astronomy, we determine the half lives of all proteins in a cells, in a single set of experiments. Congrats to Alex & everyone involved on a really cool paper! @KnowlesLabCamb@PNASNews
Exciting start to Day 2! Tuomas Knowles, Professor & Head of the @KnowlesLabCamb at @Cambridge_Uni, kicks off the day with a captivating talk on “Functional artificial materials through self-assembly of natural peptides and proteins”. #SupraLife#SecondSchool#ConferenceDay2
New🌶️: Amyloid self-replication occurs on small & rare “catalytic sites” on the fibril.
Work of Samo, who came for @EUErasmusPlus and stayed for MS & PhD...some things take time;). Great fun with @KnowlesLabCamb@MichaelsLabETH@georg_meisl 🪩https://t.co/P55qFpSB16
So thrilled to share the results of an exciting collaboration with @PappulabWashU and the Hyslop lab. Congratulations @DaoyuanQian219, @HAusserwoeger and the team!

🗣️ Tuomas Knowles, Professor & Head of the @KnowlesLabCamb at @Cambridge_Uni 🇬🇧, is a plenary speaker @#SupraLife#SecondSchool!🤩
Tuomas will elucidate the molecular mechanisms & dynamics of protein aggregation to generate biofunctionality & understand neurological disorders!
