Novel Human Insulin Cα-Peptide as an Antagonist for Islet and Brain Amyloidosis
Abstract: Over 32 million Americans are living with Diabetes and newly diagnosed cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes is increasing. A defining feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the accumulation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) fibrils in pancreatic islets. Such accumulations form amyloid plaques, referred to as islet amyloidosis. Mounting...

Novel Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptides as Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarkers and Inhibitors of Amyloid Formation
Abstract: Over 34 million Americans are living with diabetes. An estimated 6.5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellites (T2DM). Amyloidosis due to aggregation of amyloid-β is key pathogenic event in AD, whereas aggregation of mature islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP37) in human islet leads to β-cell dysfunction....
