In the NIH study, the scientists isolated individual, nano - sized collagen fibrils from rat - tail tendons.

To create a new bioink, Gatenholm's team mixed polysaccharides from brown algae and tiny cellulose fibrils from wood or made by bacteria, as well as human chondrocytes, which are cells that build up cartilage.

Co-lead researcher, Australian National University Professor John Carver, said that two unrelated proteins aggregate in UHT milk over a period of months to form clusters called amyloid fibrils, which cause the milk to transform from a liquid into a gel.

Brain tissue from healthy cows did not contain fibrils.

Researchers believed that the fibrils should come from a rigid structure called a β - sheet.

More than 40 illnesses known as amyloid diseases — Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and rheumatoid arthritis are a few — are linked to the buildup of proteins after they have transformed from their normally folded, biologically active forms to abnormally folded, grouped deposits called fibrils or plaques.

But researchers in Italy and the United Kingdom reported in April that many different types of normal proteins — with no known link to diseases — can also fold into shapes indistinguishable from the dreaded amyloid fibrils.

In close collaboration with his TUM colleagues Johannes Buchner, professor of biotechnology and Sevil Weinkauf, professor of electron microscopy, Reif determined that the small heat shock protein uses a specific non-polar beta - sheet structure pile in its center for interactions with the beta - amyloid, allowing it to access the aggregation process in two locations at once: For one it attaches to individual dissolved beta - amyloids, preventing them from forming fibrils.

«NMR enabled us to obtain additional information such as which amino acid residues form salt bridges thus enhancing the stability of the fibrils,» explains Prof. Henrike Heise from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and Jülich's Biomolecular NMR Center.

Extensive calculations enabled the atomic structure of the fibril to be reconstructed from these measurements.
