Abstract
Aberrant protein aggregation into amyloid fibrils is linked to cell de - generation and the pathogenesis of a number of fatal diseases including Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. Here biomolecular recognition principles and peptide-based strategies towards inhibition of protein aggregation and associated cell damage in these two yet incurable amyloid diseases are reviewed.
