Researchers Identify Protein Interaction Driving Alzheimer’s and Develop Compound to Halt It in Mice A research team led by Professor Hilmar Bading at Heidelberg University has uncovered a key biological mechanism behind Alzheimer's disease progression. The scientists identified a harmful interaction between two proteins—the NMDA receptor and the TRPM4 ion channel—that, when bound together, form a destructive protein complex. This complex triggers neuronal death and accelerates memory loss. Using a specially developed compound called FP802, the researchers successfully disrupted this toxic interaction in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s. The drug, described as a TwinF Interface Inhibitor, binds to the exact site where the two proteins connect, preventing the formation of the damaging complex. Mice treated with FP802 showed slower disease progression, preserved memory and learning abilities, and reduced brain damage. The treatment also lowered the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s pathology. Unlike traditional therapies focused solely on amyloid removal, this approach targets the downstream molecular mechanism responsible for neuronal death. The research suggests that FP802 may also have potential in treating other neurodegenerative diseases, such as ALS, that involve the same protein interaction. Although still in early preclinical stages, the discovery opens a promising path toward developing new therapies that protect brain cells and halt disease progression at its root. The team, collaborating with FundaMental Pharma, plans to refine FP802 and conduct safety and pharmacological studies before human trials.

100gr of tofu is enough for two.

Store the 2/3 of tofu that will be used later in water in a punnet, closed with lid, keep in the fridge. Change water daily. Use within 4/5 days

I cut 100 gr of tofu (1/3 of packet) in slices. Into a flat bowl, sprinkle cayenne pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger powders, (whatever you like). Add tamari or soy sauce (about 2 spoons)

Mix delicately, let it soak, then add into dish 3mn before end of cooking.

For people who learn to leave meat, adding pulses, nuts, a bit of cheeses and eggs, tempe and tofu in every meal will bring enough #proteins.

How to keep tofu once the pocket is open? In a punnet in water in the fridge, change water every day.

How to make #tofu tasty? Soak in spices and tamari.

Researchers Develop Light-Controlled Protein Evolution for Dynamic Cellular Functions Scientists at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have developed a novel method called 'optovolution' that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. Unlike traditional directed evolution, which favors proteins that remain constantly active, optovolution allows proteins to switch between states in a controlled manner. Using engineered yeast cells, researchers made cell survival dependent on proteins switching at the right time. Light pulses were applied to force proteins to alternate between active and inactive states during the yeast cell cycle, creating a fast and automatic selection process for the best-performing variants. This approach generated new light-sensitive proteins capable of responding to multiple colors and improved existing optogenetic systems. Additionally, the team evolved a transcription factor that acts as a simple logic gate, activating genes only when two signals—a light and a chemical—are present simultaneously. Optovolution could transform synthetic biology, biotechnology, and fundamental research by enabling the design of smarter cellular circuits, multi-state protein behaviors, and color-specific optogenetic tools.
