Fibrillar dimer formation of islet amyloid polypeptides

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2015
Amyloid deposits of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP), a 37-residue hormone co-produced with insulin, have been implicated in the development of type 2 diabetes.

Conformational switching within dynamic oligomers underpins toxic gain-of-function by diabetes-associated amyloid

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Toxic gain-of-function by islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is thought to be mediated by membrane poration. Here the authors develop diluted-FRET to show that changes in pore structure correlate with onset of toxicity inside insulin secreting cells.

Nanoscale Control of Amyloid Self-Assembly Using Protein Phase Transfer by Host-Guest Chemistry

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Amyloid fibrils have recently been highlighted for their diverse applications as functional nanomaterials in modern chemistry. However, tight control to obtain a targeted fibril length with low heterogeneity has not been achieved because of the ...

Disproportionate Hyperproinsulinemia, β-Cell Restricted Prohormone Convertase 2 Deficiency, and Cell Cycle Inhibitors Expression by Human Islets Transplanted into Athymic Nude Mice: Insights into Nonimmune-Mediated Mechanisms of Delayed Islet Graft Failure

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2008
To learn more about nonimmune-mediated islet graft failure, we transplanted different preparations (preps) of isolated human islets under the kidney capsule of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic nude mice.
