The self-assembly of native structural proteins into fibrils or amyloid spherulite-like structures is associated with a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases. we have a new super-resolution method (REPLOM), to observe directly and in real-time the formation of insulin spherulites and quantify the existence and abundance of diverse morphologies as well as their heterogeneous growth kinetics. Our results surprisingly revealed insulin spherulite growth is not exclusively isotropic, but it may also occur anisotropically. Combined with Machine learning we associated growth rates to specific morphological transitions and provided energy barriers and the energy landscape for each aggregation morphology.
