Zinc Boosts EGCG’s hIAPP Amyloid Inhibition Both in Solution and Membrane

Amyloid aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) is linked to insulin-producing islet cell death in type II diabetes. Previous studies have shown that Zinc (Zn(II)) and insulin, co-secreted with hIAPP, have an inhibition effect on hIAPP aggregation. Lipid membranes have also been shown...
