Amyloid diseases are global epidemics with profound health, social and economic
implications and yet remain without a cure. This dire situation calls for research into the …

Amyloid fibrils are protein homopolymers that adopt diverse cross-β conformations. Some
amyloid fibrils are associated with the pathogenesis of devastating neurodegenerative …

Objectives A. baumannii is considered as a “red alert” nosocomial human pathogen and
exhibits an extensive antibiotic resistance spectrum. The biofilm formation mediated by the …

In the past two decades, amyloids, typically associated with human diseases, have been
described to play various functional roles in nearly all life forms. The structural and functional …

Bacteria that cause infectious diseases adopt biofilms as one of their most prevalent
lifestyles. Biofilms enable bacteria to tolerate environmental stress and evade antibacterial …

Biofilms are ubiquitous in the natural and man-made environment. They are defined as
microbes that are encapsulated in an extracellular, self-produced, biofilm matrix. Growing …

Amyloid‐fibers help to maintain the structure of infectious biofilms. Disassembly of amyloid‐
fibers contributes to biofilm‐dispersal in the blood‐circulation, from which bacteria should be …

Microbial protein nanowires are emerging as an alternative to abiotic nanowires for
electronics applications. Microbial nanowires are sustainably produced, robust, non-toxic …

Genetic, environmental, and aging-related insults can promote the misfolding and
subsequent aggregation of secreted proteins implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous …

The gut–brain axis has attracted increasing attention in recent years, fueled by accumulating
symptomatic, physiological, and pathological findings. In this study, the aggregation and …
