DOI: 10.1002/1873-3468.14587
Abstract: The parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates the calcium and phosphate level in blood after secretion from parathyroid chief cells. The pre‐ and pro‐sequences of precursor preproPTH get cleaved during PTH maturation. In secretory granules, PTH forms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pro.4130
Abstract: Amyloid fibril formation is associated with various amyloidoses, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Amyloid fibrils form above the solubility of amyloidogenic proteins or peptides upon breaking supersaturation, followed by a nucleation… read more here.
