  1. Designed peptides as nanomolar cross-amyloid inhibitors acting via supramolecular nanofiber co-assembly

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Nature communications 2022-08-25 Treatments

    Amyloid self-assembly is linked to numerous devastating cell-degenerative diseases.

  2. Rationally designed peptide-based inhibitor of Aβ42 fibril formation and toxicity: a potential therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. The Biochemical journal 2020-06-01 Treatments

    Amyloid beta peptide (Aβ42) aggregation in the brain is thought to be responsible for the onset of Alzheimer's disease, an insidious condition without an effective treatment or cure.

  3. Designed Macrocyclic Peptides as Nanomolar Amyloid Inhibitors Based on Minimal Recognition Elements

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English) 2018-07-24 Treatments

    Amyloid self-assembly is linked to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), but so far, no anti-amyloid compound has reached the clinic.
