¸£Àû¼§ will open its Protein Science master’s programme to international students starting next year. The programme combines theoretical and practical components, with a heavy emphasis on laboratory work.

The European Union has awarded a 5 M€ infrastructure grant to the MOSBRI project. ProLinC, LiUs core facility for protein research, is a major part of it.

The immune system can affect the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, leading to the production of a misfolded spike protein called amyloid. A new study points to a possible connection between harmful amyloid production and symptoms of COVID-19.

Amyloid beta, a protein linked with Alzheimer's disease, has different properties in different cell types in the brains of fruit flies, according to a new study. It seems that certain cell types are hardly damaged at all by amyloid aggregates.

The brain of a person with Alzheimer´s disease often contains several different types of amyloid plaque. This was shown in a study in which tracer molecules developed at LiU were used to study brain tissue from patients.
