Overview

This review highlights functional amyloids' roles in drug delivery and immunotherapy, suggesting innovative applications.

Key Points

  • Functional amyloids can encapsulate drugs and enhance targeted delivery, promoting more precise therapies.
  • Studies indicate that nanostructured amyloid fibrils can act as carriers and adjuvants, aiding in immunotherapy effectiveness.
  • Recent advances demonstrate the hybridization of amyloid scaffolds with conventional drug delivery systems to improve outcomes.
  • The ongoing exploration of engineered amyloid-based platforms could lead to breakthroughs in precision medicine.
