Resilience and Charge-Dependent Fibrillation of Functional Amyloids: Interactions of Pseudomonas Biofilm-Associated FapB and FapC

This study investigates the resilience and charge-dependent fibrillation of Pseudomonas amyloids FapB and FapC, revealing their complex interactions and implications for biofilm persistence and potential applications.

A new archaeal virus that suppresses the transcription of host immunity genes

This paper discovers a new archaeal virus that suppresses host immunity gene transcription, leading to faster growth of its host when the virus is removed.

Staphylococcus aureus functional amyloids catalyze degradation of β-lactam antibiotics

This study shows that Staphylococcus aureus functional amyloids catalyze the degradation of β-lactam antibiotics, revealing a new mechanism for antibiotic resistance.

Structure and conservation of amyloid spines from the Candida albicans Als5 adhesin including similarity to human LARKS

The paper identifies amyloid-forming sequences in Candida albicans Als5 adhesin and reveals structural similarities to human LARKS, suggesting functional amyloids in fungal pathogenesis.

Structural Insights into Curli CsgA Cross-β Fibril Architecture Inspired Repurposing of Anti-amyloid Compounds as Anti-biofilm Agents

This paper reveals structural similarities between bacterial curli amyloids and human pathological amyloids, leading to the repurposing of anti-amyloid drugs as anti-biofilm agents.
