Mathematical Modeling of Protein Misfolding Mechanisms in Neurological Diseases: A Historical Overview
Protein misfolding refers to a process where proteins become structurally abnormal and lose their specific 3-dimensional spatial configuration. The histopathological presence of misfolded protein (MP) aggregates has been associated as the primary evidence of multiple neurological diseases, including...
