The present invention relates to a method for controlling the length of amyloid fibrils through a pressurized cutting process. Specifically, according to the present invention, long amyloid fibrils having a relatively long length can be uniformly cut into a desired specific length, and thus fibrils having a predetermined length can be produced precisely and reproducibly, thereby enabling cytotoxicity analysis according to the length of amyloid fibrils in neurodegenerative disease research. In addition, amyloid fibrils according to the present invention consistently maintain electrical properties, mechanical properties, and chemical reactivity due to the uniform and consistent length thereof, and thus may be suitable for commercial applications. In addition, since the pressurized cutting process of the present invention is relatively simple and economical, the commercial potential of various products and services using amyloid fibrils can be increased. Therefore, the pressurized cutting process is highly likely to be used in various technical fields such as neurodegenerative disease research, biosensors, filtration systems, nano-electronic devices, nanoparticles for drug screening, and bioadhesives.

The present invention pertains to a method for controlling a membrane potential-dependent ion channel (VGSC or the like) through a type I taste receptor present in a nerve cell or the like. In the present invention, it has been found that an Aβ peptide, or a sweet amino acid or an umami substance specifically binds to a type I taste receptor on the surface of a nerve cell to exert an agonist-like or antagonist-like action, thereby amplifying or suppressing a VGSC active current. Moreover, with the binding of an Aβ peptide or the like to a type I taste receptor, the amplification of a VGSC active current occurs, the overactivity of nerve cells causing epileptiform attack occurs, and a large number of substances, which can effectively suppress the amplification of the VGSC active current, among ligand substances that specifically bind to the type I taste receptor, can be found. The present invention provides: a type I taste receptor-specific ligand substance that can control the amplification or suppression of a VGSC active current; and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), due to the amplification of a VGSC active current caused by the binding of an Aβ peptide or the like to a type I taste receptor.
