Mapping the sequence specificity of heterotypic amyloid interactions enables the identification of aggregation modifiers

In this work, Louros et al. uncover a rule book for interactions of amyloids with other proteins. This grammar was shown to promote cellular spreading of tau aggregates in cells, but can also be harvested to develop structure-based aggregation blockers.
