What might they be? A paper published October 31 in PLoS Biology proposes that, for α-synuclein, these “mystery densities” comprise polyphosphate. Polyphosphate would fit a pocket in α-synuclein that ...

A recent study reveals that a polymer called polyphosphate may stabilize fibrils, protein structures linked to Alzheimer's, ...

Research led by the University of Michigan has provided compelling evidence that could solve a fundamental mystery in the makeup of fibrils that play a role in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other ...

“They called it a ‘mystery density.'” Now, Jakob and her colleagues have shown that a ubiquitous biological polymer called polyphosphate could be that mystery density. The team reported its ...

Research led by the University of Michigan has shown that the molecular polyphosphate, shown in red, could be what's been called the "mystery density" inside fibrils—like the one shown in ...

Amyloid fibrils appear in many neurodegenerative diseases, and scientists are eager to understand how they form and spread.

The National Institutes of Health has awarded a five-year, $2.79 million grant to Shuying Yang and Michael Mitchell for their ...

Its main ingredients include palm kernel oils, food starch, sodium polyphosphate, and sorbitan monostearate. All of which ...
