Recent research from Purdue University is challenging longstanding beliefs about the role of fat in the brain, particularly in relation to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Findings published in the journal Immunity indicate that excess fat accumulation in microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, significantly impairs their ability to combat disease. This insight suggests a new avenue for therapies targeting lipid biology, potentially enhancing microglial function and overall neuronal health.

The three-dimensional structure provides essential information for understanding biological functions of proteins. To aid structure determination, computational prediction has been extensively studied. Despite significant progress, challenges remain on difficult targets, such as those with multiple domains and proteins that fold into several conformations.

Deep inside the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, immune cells are drowning in their own fat. This buildup of fat droplets inside brain immune cells helps explain why the brain loses its ability to fight off the disease and points toward a surprising new treatment that worked in mice within a week.

The continually expanding toolkit from Mohit Verma’s laboratory at Purdue University now includes a portable paper-based biosensor for identifying genetically modified corn and soybean. The genetically modified crop biosensor, based on a method called loop-mediated isothermal amplification – LAMP – offers a fast and less expensive alternative to the point-of-need molecular tools already on the market.
