Challenging the Norm: Groundbreaking Study Reveals Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation’s Protective Effect on Parkinson’s Disease Protein Aggregation
A revolutionary study published in the prestigious journal Advanced Science has sent shockwaves through the medical community, challenging a long-held theory on the nature of protein aggregation in Parkinson’s disease. The groundbreaking research, led by Jinghui Luo and Rebecca Sternke-Hoffmann at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, reveals that liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) – a phenomenon where protein molecules condense into droplets isolated from the cell’s cytoplasm – may not be the primary cause of amyloid fibril formation associated with Parkinson’s disease.
