Amyloid fibrils are highly organized protein or peptide aggregates,often characterized by a distinctive supramolecular cross-β-sheet structure.The formation and accumulation of these structures have been traditionall...
Background:Alzheimer’s disease affects millions of people worldwide,and one of its major characteristics is the accumulation of extracellular Aβpeptides in the human brain,leading to neuronal death and resulting in ...

Although much has been learned about the fibrillization kinetics, structure and toxicity of amyloid proteins, the properties of amyloid fibrils beyond the saturation phase are often perceived as chemically and biologi...
Amyloid peptides are renowned to be related to neurodegenerative diseases, however, a fruitful avenue is to employ them as high-performance nanomaterials. These materials benefit from the intrinsic outstanding mechani...
