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.

Tryptophol acetate and tyrosol acetate, small molecule metabolites identified in a probiotic mixture, inhibit hyperinflammation

This study identifies two small molecule metabolites from a probiotic yeast that inhibit hyperinflammation by modulating immune signaling pathways.

The Amphibian Antimicrobial Peptide Uperin 3.5 is a Cross-α/Cross-β Chameleon Functional Amyloid

This paper studies the formation of functional amyloid fibrils by the amphibian antimicrobial peptide uperin 3.5, showing its ability to switch between cross-α and cross-β structures under different conditions.
