Amyloid aggregation is a process in which proteins misfold and accumulate into insoluble fibrils known as amyloid plaques. These plaques are associated with a range of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. Research in this area focuses on understanding the mechanisms of amyloid formation, as well as developing potential therapies to prevent or disrupt aggregation. Studying amyloid aggregation is crucial for gaining insights into the progression of these diseases and developing effective treatments.
