Pancreatic islet amyloid is a characteristic feature of type 2 diabetes. The major protein
component of islet amyloid is the polypeptide hormone known as islet amyloid polypeptide …

Many proteins of diverse sequence, structure and function self-assemble into
morphologically similar fibrillar aggregates known as amyloids. Amyloids are remarkable …

The misfolding and aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides into amyloid fibrils is regarded
as one of the causative events in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) …

The self-assembly of abnormally folded proteins into amyloid fibrils is a hallmark of many
debilitating diseases, from Alzheimer's and Parkinson diseases to prion-related disorders …

Diphenylalanine (FF) is a very common peptide with many potential applications, both
biological and technological, due to a large number of different nanostructures which it …

Amylin is primarily responsible for classifying type II diabetes as an amyloid (protein
misfolding) disease as it has great potential to aggregate into toxic nanoparticles, thereby …

Recent advances in nanotechnologies have led to wide use of nanomaterials in biomedical
field. However, nanoparticles are found to interfere with protein misfolding and aggregation …

The role aromatic amino acids play in the formation of amyloid is a subject of controversy. In
an effort to clarify the contribution of aromaticity to the self‐assembly of human islet amyloid …

Aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) into pancreatic fibrillar deposits has
been postulated to be one of the main contributors to impaired insulin secretion and …

Amyloid plaques comprising misfolded proteins are the hallmark of several incurable
diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, type-II diabetes, Jacob–Creutzfeld disease, and …
