The UK DRI's @w_mcewan & @JamesLab9 (@MRC_LMB) have developed new therapies that selectively remove aggregated tau proteins - harnessing the unique capabilities of a protein called TRIM21. The treatment improved symptoms of neurodegeneration in mice👉buff.ly/47ogpFG

New research from @JamesLab9 & colleagues presents 'RING-Bait', which employs an aggregating protein sequence combined with an E3 ubiquitin ligase to specifically degrade tau aggregates while sparing soluble tau (in vitro & in vivo) - impressive new tech! cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Amazing new study from the lab on targeted tau degradation technology:
Guido Papa@guidovir_13 Sep 2024
Super excited to share our latest paper on a novel targeted protein degradation technology, now out in @CellCellPress. We introduce RING-Bait technology, an innovative approach to selectively target and degrade intracellular protein aggregates (1/7) cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Co-opting templated aggregation to degrade pathogenic tau assemblies and improve motor function

RING-Bait technology hijacks the process of templated aggregation to recruit ubiquitination machinery and selectively degrade pathogenic tau assemblies without generating a specific binder, thereby...
