Amyloidosis
New amyloidosis study findings have been published by scientists at Fukui University
Published in Medical Imaging Week, November 1st, 2008
According to a study from Fukui, Japan, "In beta(2)-microglobulin-related (A beta 2M) amyloidosis, partial unfolding of beta(2)-microglobulin (beta 2-m) is believed to be prerequisite to its assembly into A beta 2M amyloid fibrils in vivo. Low concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate induce partial unfolding of beta 2-m to an amyloidogenic conformer and subsequent amyloid fibril formation in vitro, but the biological molecules that induce them under near-physiological conditions have not been determined."
"We investigated the effect of some lysophospholipids on the nucleation, extension and stabilization of A beta 2M amyloid fibrils at a neutral pH, using fluorescence...
