Helping your books stand out
The document discusses the multifaceted nature of books, exploring their physical and cultural significance beyond mere text, including aspects like marginalia, inscriptions, and their role in academia and society. It also highlights the importance of effectively explaining, sharing, and measuring the impact of academic publications through platforms like Kudos, which enhances visibility and engagement with research. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for authors to connect with their audience and leverage metrics to assess the effectiveness of their sharing efforts.

Inherited, disease-causing myocilin variants aggregate intracellularly instead of being secreted to the trabecular meshwork, which is a scenario toxic to trabecular meshwork cells and leads to early onset of ocular hypertension, the major risk factor for glaucoma. Here we systematically structurally and biophysically dissected myoc-OLF to better understand its amyloidogenesis. Under mildly destabilizing conditions, wild-type myoc-OLF adopts non-native structures that readily fibrillize when incubated at a temperature just below the transition for tertiary unfolding. With buffers at physiological pH, two main endpoint fibril morphologies are observed: (a) straight fibrils common to many amyloids and (b) unique micron-length, ~ 300 nm or larger diameter, species that lasso oligomers, which also exhibit classical spectroscopic amyloid signatures. Three disease-causing variants investigated herein exhibit non- native tertiary structures under physiological conditions, leading to a variety of growth rates and a fibril morphologies. In particular, the well-documented D380A variant, which lacks calcium, forms large circular fibrils. Two amyloid-forming peptide stretches have been identified, one for each of the main fibril morphologies observed. Our study places myoc-OLF within the larger landscape of the amylome and provides insight into the diversity of myoc-OLF aggregation that plays a role in glaucoma pathogenesis.

Editor's Notes
- #9 And projects like Book Traces (from which this is a screenshot) celebrate how physical objects soak up the personalities and places of their owners.
- #12 One of the founders of Genius, Ilan Zechory, describes his vision as one in which all texts are surrounded by the ideas and people who inspired and commented on the work. The text is like a field of clover and the annotations are like bees, pollinating.
