Application of Functional Amyloids in Morphological Control and in Self-assembled Composites
Amyloids are self-assembled protein materials containing beta-sheets. While most studies focus on amyloids as the pathogen in neurodegenerative disease, there are instances of "functional" amyloids used to preserve life. Functional amyloids serve as an inspiration in materials design. I...
