The hidden world of amyloid biology has suddenly snapped into atomic-level focus,
revealing over 80 amyloid protein fibrils, both pathogenic and functional. Unlike globular …

Amyloid fibrils have traditionally been considered only as pathological aggregates in human
neurodegenerative diseases, but it is increasingly becoming clear that the propensity to form …

Background Pickering emulsions prepared using food-grade colloidal particles can be
designed to have high physical stability, tunable textural attributes, and good …

Disrupted protein folding or decreased protein stability can lead to the accumulation of
(partially) un‐or misfolded proteins, which ultimately cause the formation of protein …

Biomolecular condensates, membrane-less entities arising from liquid–liquid phase
separation, hold dichotomous roles in health and disease. Alongside their physiological …

The fundamental roles that peptides and proteins play in today's biology makes it almost
indisputable that peptides were key players in the origin of life. Insofar as it is appropriate to …

Abstract Staining with Congo Red (CR) is a qualitative method used for the identification of
amyloids in vitro and in tissue sections. However, the drawbacks and artefacts obtained …

The maturation of liquid-like protein condensates into amyloid fibrils has been associated
with several neurodegenerative diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying …

Brains of Alzheimer's disease patients are characterized by the presence of amyloid plaques
and neurofibrillary tangles, both invariably associated with neuroinflammation. A crucial role …

Subcellular membraneless assemblies are a reinvigorated area of study in biology, with
spirited scientific discussions on the forces between the low-complexity protein domains …
