We experimentally and numerically study the ignition of helical-shaped plasma filaments in standard optical fibers. Femtosecond pulses with megawatt peak power with proper off-axis and tilted coupling in the fiber core produce plasma skew rays. These last for distances as long as 1000 wavelengths thanks to a combination of linear waveguiding and the self-channeling effect. Peculiar is the case of graded-index multimode fibers; here the spatial self-imaging places constraints on the helix pitch. These results may find applications for fabricating fibers with helical-shaped core micro-structuration as well as for designing laser components and three-dimensional optical memories.

Background: Amyloid filaments formation is a complex kinetic and thermodynamic process. The dependence of peptide polymerization on peptide-peptide interactions to form a β-pleated sheet fibrils and the stimulatory influence of other proteins on the reaction suggest that amyloid formation may be subject to modulation METHOD: In vitro formation of β-amyloid was induced by incubation of an aqueous solution of AβP (10 mg/ml) for 7 days at 37°C. The extent of β-amyloid formation and disaggregation were monitored using a panel of well characterized mAbs raised against soluble AβP fragments.

Many cancer cells exhibit increased amounts of paucimannose glycans, which are truncated N-glycan structures rarely found in mammals. Paucimannosidic proteins are proposedly generated within lysosomes and exposed on the cell surface through a yet uncertain mechanism. In this study, we revealed that paucimannosidic proteins are produced by lysosomal glycosidases and secreted via lysosomal exocytosis.

Background: Tau phosphorylated at threonine-217 (tau), which can be measured in plasma and CSF using antibodies, is one of the most promising early biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Little was known, however, about the cellular and subcellular distributions of tau, how those levels change during disease progression, the factor(s) that provoke tau accumulation, or functional consequences of tau phosphorylation at T217. This study addressed all of those issues.

Phosphorylation of tau (p-tau) in the proline-rich region is a common target of immunohistochemical and fluid biomarker evaluation. P-tau217 has emerged as a highly accurate fluid biomarker in AD, however elevated levels are not observed in non-AD tauopathies.

Background: What does neurodevelopment look like when neurodegeneration is the outcome - this is overarching theme of investigations currently ongoing in our lab. The E4 isoform of ApoE protein is the most consistently replicated risk factor in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). And yet, much remains unknown about the biological pathways that connect APOE4 genotype with the development of pathology that eventually leads to AD, nor do we know how early in life these cellular alterations begin.
