Article Synopsis
  • * This study tested the effectiveness of Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) for rapid and cost-efficient identification of foodborne pathogens, comparing various DNA extraction and sequencing methods.
  • * Results showed that ONT could accurately identify pathogens and their characteristics, but some variations in genome assembly were noted, indicating the need for further refinement of the process.

The appearance of misfolded and aggregated proteins is a pathological hallmark of numerous neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Sleep disruption is proposed to contribute to these pathological processes and is a common early feature among neurodegenerative disorders. Synucleinopathies are a subclass of neurodegenerative conditions defined by the presence of α-synuclein aggregates, which may not only enhance cell death, but also contribute to disease progression by seeding the formation of additional aggregates in neighboring cells.
