The Evolution of Functional Amyloids and Their Impact on Host–Microbe Interactions
Advanced ScienceAmyloids are highly ordered β‐sheet‐rich structures that are well conserved across the domains of life. Amyloids have a unique repetitive structure that enables autocatalytic self‐replication.

Functional characterization of TasA and TapA in the formation of the amyloid fiber in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
, 2017 Introduction Functional amyloids are a very heterogeneous family of amyloid proteins widespread in nature, from humans to bacteria. Unlike their “pathogenic” relatives, implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, functional amyloids play important

A Novel Joint Brain Network Analysis Using Longitudinal Alzheimer's Disease Data. [PDF]
, 2019 There is well-documented evidence of brain network differences between individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and healthy controls (HC). To date, imaging studies investigating brain networks in these populations have typically been cross-sectional ...

Targeting neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
, 2016 Almost 47 million people suffer from dementia worldwide, with an estimated new case diagnosed every 3.2 seconds. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) accounts for approximately 60%–80% of all dementia cases. Given this evidence, it is clear dementia represents one

Peptide detection of fungal functional amyloids in infected tissue. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many fungal cell adhesion proteins form functional amyloid patches on the surface of adhering cells. The Candida albicans Agglutinin-like sequence (Als) adhesins are exemplars for this phenomenon, and have amyloid forming sequences that are conserved ...

Functional amyloid formation by Streptococcus mutans [PDF]
Microbiology, 2012 Dental caries is a common infectious disease associated with acidogenic and aciduric bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans. Organisms that cause cavities form recalcitrant biofilms, generate acids from dietary sugars and tolerate acid end products. It has recently been recognized that micro-organisms can produce functional amyloids that are integral
