Is synuclein aggregation a derived or ancestral trait? Ancestral sequence reconstruction uncovers stepwise evolution of synuclein aggregation

This study uses ancestral sequence reconstruction to show that synuclein aggregation evolved progressively, with fibril formation emerging in an ancestral node and being suppressed in beta-synuclein.

Nanoscale Structural and Functional Impacts of Disease-Associated Collagen Mutations

This study examines how collagen mutations affect fibril structure and integrin interactions, showing that different mutations lead to distinct structural and functional changes in collagen.
