The Human Host‐Defense Peptide Cathelicidin LL‐37 is a Nanomolar Inhibitor of Amyloid Self‐Assembly of Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP)

Amyloid self‐assembly of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is linked to pancreatic inflammation, β‐cell degeneration, and the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The multifunctional host‐defence peptides (HDPs) cathelicidins play crucial roles in inflammation. Here, we show that the antimicrobial...
