Share this post or pin it for later! Montana might not be the first state that comes to mind when considering an epic American road trip, but this huge state should be on your travel radar. Having visited over 65 countries, I often say Mongolia is my favorite. Swap the nomadic tribes with cowboys and the sheep for bison, and Montana’s grassland steppe is the closest you’ll find to one of the least visited places in the world.

AbstractOligomeric species arising during the aggregation of α-synuclein are implicated as a major source of toxicity in Parkinson’s disease, and thus a major potential drug target. However, both their mechanism of formation and role in aggregation are largely unresolved. Here we show that, at physiological pH and in the absence of lipid membranes, α-synuclein aggregates form by secondary nucleation, rather than simple primary nucleation, and that this process is enhanced by agitation.

Share this post or pin it for later! If you’re an adventure junkie or someone who loves the quiet of the desert, Moab, Utah, is a premier outdoor hotspot. I spent two years van-living through the American West, and this region of southern Utah may very well be one of my favorites of the 40 states I’ve been to. This small town may be remote, but it is your gateway to some of the deepest canyons, largest sandstone arches, and most adrenaline-pumping activities in the United States.
