abstract = {The review highlights the role of amyloids in various
diseases and the challenges associated with targeting human
amyloids in therapeutic development. However, due to the
better understanding of microbial amyloids' role as
virulence factors, there is a growing interest in
repurposing and designing anti-amyloid compounds for
antivirulence therapy. The identification of amyloid
inhibitors has not only significant clinical implications
but also provides valuable insights into the structure and
function of amyloids. The review showcases small molecules
and peptides that specifically target amyloids in both
humans and microbes, reducing cytotoxicity and biofilm
formation, respectively. The review emphasizes the
importance of further research on amyloid structures,
mechanisms, and interactions across all life forms to yield
new drug targets and improve the design of selective
treatments. Overall, the review highlights the potential for
amyloid inhibitors in therapeutic development for both human
diseases and microbial infections.},
