Imagine you’re a chef creating a recipe. You carefully gather all the ingredients and start mixing them together. But suddenly, something unexpected happens – your mixture begins to clump up and form aggregates. This is what happens with proteins too, except instead of cooking, it takes place inside our bodies. Protein aggregation, or the formation of these unwanted clumps, is linked to various diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Scientists have developed assays, or tests, to study protein aggregation in the lab. These assays provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying these diseases and help researchers develop potential treatments. Now, researchers are exploring how these lab assays could be used clinically to detect and monitor diseases. By understanding the journey of protein aggregation assays from the lab to the clinic, we can uncover new ways to diagnose and treat these debilitating conditions.
