Abstract excerpt
Amyloids are known as irreversible aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases. However, recent evidence shows that a subset of amyloids can form reversibly and fulfill essential cellular functions. Yet, the molecular mechanisms regulating functional amyloids and distinguishing them from pathological aggregates remain unclear. Here, we investigate the conserved principles of amyloid reversibility by...
