🧵Cuando trabajas años en un proyecto científico… y publican el paper sin ti.
1️⃣ Después de años en un grupo de investigación, acabo de descubrir que han publicado un paper con datos en los que trabajé directamente.
Mi nombre no aparece. En ningún sitio.

This week we are at the Functional Amyloid Meeting at @desy Hamburg. Old friends and great talks!!! Thanks @LandauMeytal #FFFatDESY2025 @IBB_UAB @I3ptT
Pretty happy for being able to share one of my latest works at @PPMC_UAB before heading to a new postdoc adventure at @iNANO_AarhusUni
🧬 New article of the lab by @SamuelPDiaz! The small molecule #ZPD2 effectively inhibits amyloid formation of C-terminally truncated α-Synuclein by targeting early aggregation stages @IBB_UAB @UABBarcelona @I3ptT

Exciting research at the poster session at #AUSBI24. Presenting Francisca Pinheiro who is working on designing peptide drugs targeting synapses @dandrite @PromemoAU

More exciting science at #AUSBI from @SamuelPDiaz @iNANO_AarhusUni harnessing the power of bacterial amyloids as catalysts for plastic degradation: poster 21, check it out!!#AUSBI24

Happy that they use our SynuClean-D (SC-D) #synuclein #aggregation inhibitor as the model molecule to validate the assay!
More info on this small compound : pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.18…
New day, new seeding assay paper!
Using #Parkinsons & MSA brain tissue & cerebrospinal fluid samples, researchers present an assay that can detect endogenous path. α-synuclein aggregates & be used to screen aggregation inhibitors

I wish some cool anti-aggregation molecule like synuclean will come out from this incredible group 🙌
#Tau is a large disordered #protein whose #aggregation is connected with #Alzheimer , but small molecules can modulate this reaction. More info in our new Perspective by @SamuelPDiaz & @zoemanglano

It was a pleasure to take part at the last @PhasAGE_project school organized with @ml4ngp . Speakers and students contributed to a valuable experience in terms of learning and networking.
Nice to see again Porto and visit for the first time the @i3S_UPorto

Excited to share our last work in @biorxivpreprint, with @RadfordLab, @loquet_lab, @janskovp, @daniel_otzen, JM Valpuesta, A Muga…
A bit closer to understand how #oligomers are!
A thread for all the #αsynuclein and oligomer enthusiasts! (1/7)

Happy to share our last article in @NatureComms
We determined the #CryoEM structure of full-length hnRNPDL-2 fibrils, a human functional #amyloid associated with a rare muscular dystrophy, with @stericagno & M. Bolognesi
Key findings below (1/5)
