α-Synuclein promotes IAPP fibril formation in vitro and β-cell amyloid formation in vivo in mice
Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D), alike Parkinson’s disease (PD), belongs to the group of protein misfolding diseases (PMDs), which share aggregation of misfolded proteins as a hallmark. Although the major aggregating peptide in β-cells of T2D patients is Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP), alpha-synucl...
