EMBER multidimensional spectral microscopy enables quantitative determination of disease- and cell-specific amyloid strains

Abstract excerpt

In neurodegenerative diseases, proteins fold into amyloid structures with distinct conformations (strains) that are characteristic of different diseases. However, there is a need to rapidly identify amyloid conformations in situ. Here, we use machine learning on the full information available in fluorescent excitation/emission spectra of amyloid-binding dyes to identify six distinct different conformational...
