deposition into insoluble plaques and intracellular inclusions is the hallmark of several …

1.1 Background In his historic review titled “Polymerization” in Chemical Reviews of 1931,
Wallace H. Carothers described his brilliant ideas about the rapidly developing field of …

Aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) by self-assembly into oligomers or amyloids is a central event
in Alzheimer's disease. Coordination of transition-metal ions, mainly copper and zinc, to Aβ …

Protein aggregation is an important phenomenon that alternatively is part of the normal
functioning of nature or, central to this review, has negative consequences via its …

Most neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's
disease, etc. are caused by inclusions and plaques containing misfolded protein …

The growing demand for patient-compliance therapies in recent years has led to the
development of transdermal drug delivery, which possesses several advantages compared …

To arrive at functional organic materials with optimal molecular organization, control over the
aggregation process is a prerequisite. Often, however, multiple pathways are involved that …

While traditional 1H, 13C, and 15N (HCN) solution state NMR protocols provide a wealth of
data on protein structure and dynamics, 19F NMR provides a unique perspective of …
