background: type 2 diabetes (t2d) is a chronic metabolic disorder in which beta-cells are destroyed. the islet amyloid polypeptide (iapp) produced by beta-cells has been reported to influence beta-cell destruction. objective: to evaluate if iapp can act as an autoantigen and therefore, to see if cd8 + t-cells specific for this protein might be present in t2d patients. methods: peripheral blood ...

The aim of this study is to produce self-assembled structures with hydrophobic polypeptide cores via Reversible Addition–Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) – mediated Polymerisation-Induced Self-Assembly (PISA).

Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) was discovered fortuitously during the purification of insulin from birds (Kimmel et al., 1968) and later from mammals (Chance et al., 1976). PP has since been extracted and purified from several mammalian species. It contains 36 amino-acid residues and is quite distinct from other known hormonal peptides (Lin and Chance, 1974). The amino-acid sequence of the peptide...
