New AI predicts how proteins behave inside cells, starting as small droplets and condensing into larger ones. This tool predicts how proteins come together using data that are extremely challenging to analyse traditionally. @PNASNews @VendruscoloLab ch.cam.ac.uk/news/new-ai-pre…

The man, the myth, the legend: @StoDada just published a paper with @VendruscoloLab & @ChemCambridge colleagues demonstrating a possible therapeutic route for #Parkinsons based on the inhibition of alpha synuclein protein aggregation within condensates nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Outcome of a great collaboration with @VendruscoloLab is now published! Well done @eaandrzejewska.
Super psyched to see this published at last! We demonstrate a novel approach to slowing alpha-synuclein aggregation in #Parkinsons. A massive thank you to the @VendruscoloLab, @KnowlesLabCamb, Caughey, Ghetti and Sormanni labs. cam.ac.uk/research/news/ai-s… nature.com/articles/s41589-0…
