AbstractAggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) is closely linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the related synucleinopathies. Aggregates spread through the brain during the progression of PD, but the mechanism by which this occurs is still not known. One possibility is a self-propagating, templated-seeding mechanism, but this cannot be established without quantitative information about the efficiencies and rates of the key steps in the cellular process. To address this issue, we imaged the uptake and seeding of unlabeled exogenous α-syn fibrils by SH-SY5Y cells and the resulting secreted aggregates, using super-resolution microscopy. Externally-applied fibrils very inefficiently induced self-assembly of endogenous α-syn in a process accelerated by the proteasome. Seeding resulted in the increased secretion of nanoscopic aggregates (mean 35 nm diameter), of both α-syn and Aβ. Our results suggest that cells respond to seed-induced disruption of protein homeostasis predominantly by secreting nanoscopic aggregates; this mechanism may therefore be an important protective response by cells to protein aggregation.

A large-scale homogenized photonic nanojet array with defined pattern and spacing facilitates practical applications in super-resolution imaging, subwavelength-resolution nanopatterning, nano objects trapping and detection technology. In this paper, we present the fabrication of a large-scale photonic nanojet array via the template-assisted self-assembly (TASA) approach. Templates of two-dimensional (2D) large-scale microwell array with defined pattern and spacing are fabricated. Melamine microspheres with excellent size uniformity are utilized to pattern on the template. It is found that microwells can be filled at a yield up to 95%. These arrayed microspheres on the template serve as microlenses and can be excited to generate large-scale photonic nanojets. The uniformly-sized melamine spheres are beneficial for the generation of a homogenized photonic nanojet array. The intensity of the photonic nanojets in water is as high as ~2 fold the background light signal. Our work shows a simple, robust, and fast means for the fabrication of a large-scale homogenized photonic nanojet array.
