Amyloid peptides (AMYs) and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered as the two
distinct families of peptides, characterized by their unique sequences, structures, biological …

Functional amyloids are a rapidly expanding class of fibrillar protein structures, with a core
cross-β scaffold, where novel and advantageous biological function is generated by the …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common, age-dependent neurodegenerative disorder.
While AD has been intensively studied from different aspects, there is no effective cure for …

Recent studies have shown that antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can self-assemble into
supramolecular structures, but this has been overlooked as causative of their antimicrobial …

Amyloids are a class of protein aggregates that have been historically characterized by their
relationship with human disease. Indeed, amyloids can be the result of misfolded proteins …

Amphibians are widely distributed on different continents, except for the polar regions. They
are important sources for the isolation, purification and characterization of natural …

The amyloid-antimicrobial link hypothesis is based on antimicrobial properties found in
human amyloids involved in neurodegenerative and systemic diseases, along with …

Pathological self-assembly is a concept that is classically associated with amyloids, such as
amyloid-β (Aβ) in Alzheimer's disease and α-synuclein in Parkinson's disease. In prokaryotic …

Antimicrobial activity is being increasingly linked to amyloid fibril formation, suggesting
physiological roles for some human amyloids, which have historically been viewed as strictly …

Amyloid aggregation and microbial infection are considered as pathological risk factors for
developing amyloid diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), type II diabetes (T2D) …
