They can store electricity better than almost any material on Earth, block an onslaught of electromagnetic interference, and sniff out the faintest trace of toxins in the air, but MXenes, the latest ...

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a ubiquitous, evolutionarily conserved polymer composed of linear chains of inorganic phosphate residues. Long recognised as an energy metabolite and phosphate ...

In recent years, CryoEM has enabled scientists to decipher the structures of the fibrils that form various deposits in neurodegenerative disease. They have not only solved disease-specific folding ...

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 ...

Recent work has shown that acidocalcisomes, which are electron-dense acidic organelles rich in calcium and polyphosphate, are the only organelles that have been conserved during evolution from ...

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 ...

Palo Alto, CA-- In a changing climate, understanding how organisms respond to stress conditions is increasingly important. New work led by Carnegie's Arthur Grossman and Emanuel Sanz-Luque could ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a changing climate, understanding how organisms respond to stress conditions is increasingly important. New work could enable scientists to engineer the metabolism of organisms to be more resilient ...
