    D-Peptide-Magnetic Nanoparticles Fragment Tau Fibrils and Rescue Behavioral Deficits in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease

    Scientists designed a seven-residue D-TLKIVWC peptide, which not only prevented tau aggregation but also fragmented tau fibrils extracted from Alzheimer’s disease brains to neutralize their seeding ability and protect neuronal cells from tau-induced toxicity.

    BRG1 Programs PRC2-Complex Repression and Controls Oligodendrocyte Differentiation and Remyelination

    Scientists demonstrated that Brg1 loss profoundly impaired oligodendrocyte-precursor cell (OPC) differentiation in the brain with a comparatively lesser effect in the spinal cord. BRG1 was critical for OPC remyelination after injury.
