Abstract excerpt
Human calcitonin (hCT) regulates calcium-phosphorus metabolism, but its amyloid aggregation disrupts physiological activity, increases thyroid carcinoma risk, and hampers its clinical use for bone-related diseases like osteoporosis and Paget's disease. Improving hCT with targeted modifications to mitigate amyloid formation while maintaining its function holds promise as a strategy. Understanding how each residue...
