Peptide nanostructures block amyloid buildup and boost neuron survival in lab tests

Researchers developed trehalose-functionalized peptide amphiphiles (TPAs) that self-assemble into supramolecular nanostructures and demonstrated these TPAs can inhibit amyloid beta aggregation. In vitro, TPAs significantly improved survival of human neurons exposed to amyloid-induced neurotoxicity, suggesting therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases.

Study finds fewer H. pylori infections among Parkinson’s patients

A large case-control study from China found that people with Parkinson’s disease were significantly less likely to test positive for Helicobacter pylori infection compared to controls. The findings suggest a potential protective link between this common stomach bacterium and Parkinson’s disease, though causality remains unproven.
