摘要:
The invention relates to the field of biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology and medicine. More in particular, the invention relates to cross-β structures and the biological role of these cross-β structures. In one embodiment, the invention discloses a method for modulating extracellular protein degradation and/or protein clearance comprising modulating cross-β(beta) structure formation (and/or cross-β structure-mediated activity) of the protein present in the circulation.
