The kinetics of islet amyloid polypeptide phase-separated system and hydrogel formation are critically influenced by macromolecular crowding

Many protein misfolding diseases (e.g. type II diabetes and Alzheimer's disease) are characterised by amyloid deposition. Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP, involved in type II diabetes) spontaneously undergoes liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) and a kinetically complex hydrogelation,...
