Abstract

Abstract : The cover picture shows the interaction between the amyloid beta peptide (purple ribbon) and a self‐assembled peptide nanoparticle (pictured in gold) that results in inhibition of pathological amyloid fibrillation. This type of interaction between proteins and peptide assemblies is indeed a hot topic to find new solutions in medicine, from new vaccine adjuvants to hydrogels for tissue regeneration or for therapeutics delivery and protein crystallization.
