title: Unraveling structural polymorphism of amyloid fibers.
abstract: Amyloid fibers are self-assembling cross β sheet structures whose overall molecular architecture is highly variable. In this issue of Structure, Torreira and colleagues use electron microscopy to resolve ultrastructural polymorphisms of RepA-WH1 amyloids.
