Amyloids are protein aggregates that can form in the body, sometimes leading to diseases such as Alzheimer’s. These fibrils can adopt multiple shapes, known as “polymorphs,” which complicate our understanding of their role in health and disease. The ability to morph into different structures makes them both fascinating and challenging to study.
