Types and Strains: Their Essential Role in Understanding Protein Aggregation in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Protein misfolding and aggregation is a key event in diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is associated with neurodegeneration. Factors that initiate protein misfolding and the role of protein aggregation in the pathophysiology of disease pose major challenges to th...
