Microbial amyloids – functions and interactions within the host
Open accessAbstract
The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibers is a common characteristic of many neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and prion diseases. Amyloid formation was originally characterized in these systems and is traditionally viewed as a consequence of protein misfolding and aggregation. An emerging field of study brings functional amyloids, like those produced by bacteria, into the scientific mainstream, and demonstrates a ubiquitous role for amyloids in living systems. This review aims to summarize what is known about the bacterial amyloids and their interactions within various host environments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
