Grasso et al., Metallomics, 2012, 4, 937
This months issue of Metallomics features papers from our Emerging Investigators themed issue and has three wonderful covers for you to enjoy.
On the front is a striking image from Giuseppe Grasso, Maria Laura Giuffrida and Enrico Rizzarelli who have written a critical review on the three main different pathways by which metal ions can affect the proteolytic enzymes responsible for Aβ peptides degradation.
Metallostasis and amyloid β-degrading enzymes
Giuseppe Grasso, Maria Laura Giuffrida and Enrico Rizzarelli
Metallomics, 2012, 4, 937-949
DOI: 10.1039/C2MT20105D
Lim & Storr et al, Metallomics, 2012, 4, 910
On the inside front cover we have an image from Emerging Investigators Mi Hee Lim and Tim Storr from the University of Michigan and the Simon Fraser University, respectively, who have been studying neurodegenerative diseases and metal-induced amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation. Together with colleagues from the US and Canada, they have been looking at dual-function triazole–pyridine derivatives that can act as inhibitors to this Aβ aggregation.
