title: Chaos controlled: discovery of a powerful amyloid inhibitor.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Evans et al. (2015) report that the hitherto largely unstudied CsgC protein is responsible for the suppression of premature amyloidogenesis within the cellular periplasm, preventing early aggregation and cellular toxicity.
