3. Accumulation and Cellular Clearance of IAPP and Proteotoxicity of ATTR in Drosophila Models
Abstract : Proteins’ functions are dependent on their three-dimensional (3D) structure. Under certain circumstances, proteins misfold and form aggregates, sometimes leading to amyloidosis. Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) builds up amyloid in the pancreatic islet of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). READ MORE

4. Kinetic stabilization of transthyretin and its role as an inhibitor of Aβ amyloid formation
Abstract : Amyloid formation occurs when normally soluble proteins and peptides misfold and aggregate into intractable threadlike structures called fibrils. There are currently more than 30 proteins associated with this aberrant structure, including the Aβ peptide in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and transthyretin (TTR) in TTR amyloidosis. READ MORE
