Unfolding the Mystery of Neurodegenerative Disease

First synthetic ‘mini prion’ shows how protein misfolding multiplies, enabling study of fundamental interactions that underlie neurodegenerative disease.

A four-image panel showing The Digital Pottery Wheel (DPW) is a ceramic throwing wheel that is augmented with a clay 3D printing mechanism and a modular control platform (upper left). Through this mechanism-and-control approach, the wheel supports standard manual ceramics throwing (upper right), autonomous 3D printing (lower left), and integration of manual manipulation and 3D printing in the same vessel (lower right).
