Abstract
The growing interest in membrane interactions of amyloidogenic peptides and proteins emanates from the realization that lipids and membranes play important, potentially central, roles in the toxicity and pathological pathways of amyloid diseases. Expanding body of evidence indicates that lipid binding of amyloidogenic peptides and amyloid peptide association with cellular membranes is critical in the onset and progression of amyloid diseases. Advancing the understanding in this field goes hand in hand with application of varied biophysical and biological techniques designed to probe the characteristics and underlying mechanisms of membrane-peptide interactions. This review summarizes experimental approaches and technical aspects employed in recent years for investigating the interaction of amyloid peptides and fibrillar species with lipid bilayers, and the reciprocal contribution of membranes to fibrillation processes and amyloidogenesis.

Artificial Intelligence for Protein Research
Protein research, essential for understanding biological processes and creating therapeutics, faces challenges due to the intricate nature of protein structures and functions. Traditional methods are limited in exploring the vast protein sequence space efficiently. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer promising solutions by improving predictions and speeding up ...read more
Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
