Amyloid aggregates are pathological hallmarks of many human diseases, but how soluble proteins nucleate to form amyloids is poorly understood. Here, we use combinatorial mutagenesis, a kinetic selection assay, and machine learning to massively pertur...

The self-aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) into fibrils is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibition of Aβ aggregation with small molecule compounds represents a promising therapeutic strategy for AD. However, designing effective ligands is chal...
Protein aggregation is a pathological hallmark of more than 50 human diseases and a major problem for biotechnology. Methods have been proposed to predict aggregation from sequence, but these have been trained and evaluated on small and biased experi...
The aggregation of α-synuclein is crucial to the development of Lewy body diseases, including Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. The aggregation pathway of α-synuclein typically involves a defined sequence of nucleation, elongation, a...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized as a neurodegenerative disorder that is caused by plaque formation by accumulating β-amyloid (Aβ), leading to neurocognitive function and impaired mental development. Thus, targeting Aβ represents a promising...
Capturing subvisible particles using flow imaging microscopy is useful for evaluating protein aggregates that may induce immunogenicity. Automated labeling is desirable to distinguish harmless components such as silicone oil (SO) from subvisible part...
Subvisible particle count is a biotherapeutics stability indicator widely used by pharmaceutical industries. A variety of stresses that biotherapeutics are exposed to during development can impact particle morphology. By classifying particle morpholo...
Intracellular tau fibrils are sources of neurotoxicity and oxidative stress in Alzheimer's. Current drug discovery efforts have focused on molecules with tau fibril disaggregation and antioxidation functions. However, recent studies suggest that memb...
Machine learning methods hold the promise to reduce the costs and the failure rates of conventional drug discovery pipelines. This issue is especially pressing for neurodegenerative diseases, where the development of disease-modifying drugs has been ...
Protein misfolding and aggregation play central roles in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Huntington's disease, which is caused by a genetic mutation in exon 1 of the Huntingtin protein (Httex1). The fluorescen...
