This project serves as a centralized repository for unpublished omics datasets from ongoing research led by SyNergy group leaders. It includes sample metadata and assay information for studies currently in progress, grouped under investigations such as proteomics and transcriptomics. The project aims to facilitate collaboration and data management within the cluster while maintaining confidentiality for unpublished work.

This project serves as a centralized repository for omics datasets published by research groups within the SyNergy Cluster. It encompasses investigations such as proteomics and transcriptomics, which are further divided into individual studies led by SyNergy members. Each study is linked to relevant publications, assays and data files (with links to external repositories).

Amyloid-like aggregates of the microtubule-associated protein Tau are associated with several neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease. The existence of cellular machinery for the removal of such aggregates has remained unclear, as specialized disaggregase chaperones are thought to be absent in mammalian cells. Here we show in cell culture and in neurons that the hexameric ATPase valosin-containing protein (VCP) is recruited to ubiquitylated Tau fibrils, resulting in their efficient ...

Clusterin (apolipoprotein J), a conserved glycoprotein abundant in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, functions as a molecular chaperone and apolipoprotein. Dysregulation of clusterin is linked to late-onset Alzheimer disease. Despite its prominent role in extracellular proteostasis, the mechanism of clusterin function remained unclear. Here, we present crystal structures of human clusterin, revealing a discontinuous three-domain architecture. Structure-based mutational analysis demonstrated that two ...
