Amyloid diseases are global epidemics with profound health, social and economic
implications and yet remain without a cure. This dire situation calls for research into the …

When protein/peptides aggregate, they usually form the amyloid state consisting of cross β-
sheet structure built by repetitively stacked β-strands forming long fibrils. Amyloids are …

Functional amyloid (FAs), particularly the bacterial proteins CsgA and FapC, have many
useful properties as biomaterials: high stability, efficient, and controllable formation of a …

It has become apparent that the intestinal microbiota orchestrates important aspects of our
metabolism, immunity, and development. Recent work has demonstrated that the microbiota …

Many natural underwater adhesives harness hierarchically assembled amyloid
nanostructures to achieve strong and robust interfacial adhesion under dynamic and …

Amyloids are highly ordered cross-β sheet protein aggregates associated with many
diseases including Alzheimer's disease, but also with biological functions such as hormone …

Amyloids, fibrillar assembly of (poly) peptide chains, are associated with neurodegenerative
illnesses such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, for which there are no cures. The …

Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen that colonizes the skin and mucosal
surfaces of mammals. Persistent staphylococcal infections often involve surface-associated …

Amyloid is a distinct β-sheet-rich fold that many proteins can acquire. Frequently associated
with neurodegenerative diseases in humans, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and …

Many bacteria assemble extracellular amyloid fibers on their cell surface. Secretion of
proteins across membranes and the assembly of complex macromolecular structures must …
