  • Title: Disentangling a Bad Reputation: Changing Perceptions of Amyloids.
    Author: Wang M, Audas TE, Lee S.
    Journal: Trends Cell Biol; 2017 Jul; 27(7):465-467. PubMed ID: 28359692.
    Abstract:
    Historically, amyloids were perceived as toxic/irreversible protein aggregates associated with neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Recent papers are challenging this perception by uncovering widespread cellular roles for physiological amyloidogenesis. These findings suggest that the amyloid-fold should be considered, alongside the native-fold and unfolded configurations, as a physiological and reversible protein organization.
