Sarkosyl differentially solubilizes patient-derived alpha-synuclein fibril strains by Hjalte Gram, Hjalte Gram, Vasileios Theologidis, Vasileios Theologidis, Vasileios Theologidis, Thomas Boesen, Thomas Boesen, Thomas Boesen, Poul Henning Jensen, Poul Henning Jensen

“…Insoluble α-synuclein (αSyn) filaments in brain tissue are a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Multiple system atrophy (MSA), and for structural studies, they have for decades been extracted using the detergent sarkosyl. We asked if PD and MSA patient-derived αSyn filament strains display different stability to sarkosyl extraction as this may confound our interpretation of the landscape of structural strains present in patients’ tissue. …”

Pasture Quality Monitoring Based on Proximal and Remote Optical Sensors: A Case Study in the Montado Mediterranean Ecosystem by João Serrano, Sara Mendes, Shakib Shahidian, José Marques da Silva

“…In this study, carried out in a biodiverse pasture field in the Mediterranean region of southern Portugal, the vegetation index (NDVI, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) obtained from measurements performed by a proximal optical sensor (PS) and satellite images (RS) was used to assess pasture quality parameters (pasture moisture content, PMC, crude protein, CP, and neutral detergent fiber, NDF). The monitoring was carried out throughout the 2021/2022 pasture growing season. …”
