Disturbances along the brain-gut-microbiota axis may significantly contribute to the
pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most serious age-related neurodegenerative disease and
causes destructive and irreversible cognitive decline. Failures in the development of …

Misfolded alpha-synuclein (AS) and other neurodegenerative disorder proteins display prion-
like transmission of protein aggregation. Factors responsible for the initiation of AS …

The concept of molecular mimicry was established to explain commonalities of structure
which developed in response to evolutionary pressures. Most examples of molecular …

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

Curli are the major proteinaceous component of a complex extracellular matrix produced by
many Enterobacteriaceae. Curli were first discovered in the late 1980s on Escherichia coli …

Amyloid–a fibrillar, cross β-sheet quaternary structure–was first discovered in the context of
human disease and tissue damage, and was thought to always be detrimental to the host …

In this tutorial review the process and applications of peptide self-assembly into nanotubes,
nanospheres, nanofibrils, nanotapes, and other ordered structures at the nano-scale are …

Most commensal and pathogenic bacteria interacting with eukaryotic hosts express
adhesive molecules on their surfaces that promote interaction with host cell receptors or with …

A large and expending body of evidence indicates that the gut-brain axis likely plays a
crucial role in neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). As a whole, the gut …
