The lipid bilayer is a 3D assembly with a rich variety of physical features that modulate cell
signaling and protein function. Lateral and transverse forces within the membrane are …

Peptide-based supramolecular assemblies are a promising class of nanomaterials with
important biomedical applications, specifically in drug delivery and tissue regeneration …

Here, we review potential determinants of the anticancer efficacy of innate immune peptides
(ACPs) for cancer cells. These determinants include membrane‐based factors, such as …

Self-assembling amyloid-like peptides and proteins give rise to promising biomaterials with
potential applications in many fields. Amyloid structures are formed by the process of …

Structural transition of polypeptide chains into the β-sheet state followed by amyloid fibril
formation is the key characteristic of a number of the so-called conformational diseases. The …

Amyloids are filamentous protein deposits ranging in size from nanometres to microns and
composed of aggregated peptide β-sheets formed from parallel or anti-parallel alignments of …

Proteins are essential elements for life. They are building blocks of all organisms and the
operators of cellular functions. Humans produce a repertoire of at least 30,000 different …

A great deal must still be learnt on the structural features of amyloid assemblies, particularly
prefibrillar aggregates, and the relationship of the latter with amyloid cytotoxicity. Presently, it …

More than 100 different mutations in the gene encoding copper-zinc superoxide dismutase
