Small, Volume 19, Issue 46, November 15, 2023., 2023 Both spidroin and Alzheimer's disease associated amyloid‐β peptide capped by spidroin terminal domains can assemble into silk‐like fibers that consist of straight nanofibrils in normal physiological‐like buffer. Spidroins′ unique primary structures have evolved to allow functional amyloid‐like properties, and at the same time direct their ...

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 942-981, June 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Acoustic and substrate‐borne vibrations are among the most widely used signalling modalities in animals. Arthropods display a staggering diversity of vibroacoustic organs generating acoustic sound and/or substrate‐borne vibrations, and are fundamental to our broader understanding of the evolution of animal signalling.
