TUM Breakthrough: Synthetic Peptides Disrupt Protein Aggregation Across Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Diabetes

(IN BRIEF) A team at the Technical University of Munich has developed synthetic macrocyclic peptides that inhibit harmful protein aggregation linked to Parkinson’s disease. The peptides also block the interactions between proteins involved in Alzheimer’s and type 2 diabetes, which … Read the full press release

Technical University of Munich scientists described a new class of designed macrocyclic peptides that are highly potent inhibitors of amyloid formation

MUNICH, 14-Aug-2018 — /EuropaWire/ — Effective therapeutics to counteract the formation of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes are not yet available. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now come a little bit closer to … Read the full press release
