The molecular mechanisms responsible for protein structural changes in the central nervous system leading to Alzheimer's disease are unknown, but there is evidence that a family of proteins known as septins may be involved. Septins are a conserved group of

Translocation of peptides through cellular membranes is a fundamental problem in developing antimicrobial peptides and in drug delivery. There is a class of peptides, known as cell-penetrating peptides, that are able to penetrate membranes without disrupting them. They can carry
