Amyloid-like aggregates of the microtubule-associated protein Tau are associated with several neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease. The existence of …
Fibrillar protein aggregation is a hallmark of a variety of human diseases. Examples include the deposition of amyloid-β and tau in Alzheimer's disease, and that of α-synuclein in …
While the initial pathology of Parkinson's disease and other α‐synucleinopathies is often confined to circumscribed brain regions, it can spread and progressively affect adjacent and …

Amyloid fibrillar assemblies, originally identified as pathological entities in neurodegenerative diseases, have been widely adopted by various proteins to fulfill diverse …
Protein amyloid aggregation has been widely observed to occur and plays important roles in both physiological processes and pathological diseases. Remarkably, amyloid aggregates …
Segments of proteins with high β-strand propensity can self-associate to form amyloid fibrils implicated in many diseases. We describe a general approach to bind such segments in β …
