Abstract excerpt
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the most common form of diabetes and represents a growing health concern. A characteristic feature of T2D is the aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), which is thought to be associated with the death of pancreatic β-cells. Inhibiting IAPP aggregation is a promising therapeutic avenue to treat T2D, but the mechanisms of aggregation and toxicity are not yet fully understood. Caen...
