Amyloid goiter

International Journal of Surgery, 2008
Amyloidosis refers to a variety of conditions in which amyloid proteins are abnormally deposited in organs and/or tissues. Amyloidosis is a rare occurrence in thyroid gland.A systematic review of the published data on amyloid goiter was carried out by searching Medline and other online databases (such as Scopus and Endnote) for the period from 1951 to ...

Systematic analysis of nucleation-dependent polymerization reveals new insights into the mechanism of amyloid self-assembly [PDF]

, 2008
Self-assembly of misfolded proteins into ordered fibrillar aggregates known as amyloid results in numerous human diseases. Despite an increasing number of proteins and peptide fragments being recognised as amyloidogenic, how these amyloid aggregates ...

β-microglobulin amyloid fibril-induced membrane disruption is enhanced by endosomal lipids and acidic pH [PDF]

, 2014
Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of amyloidoses are not well understood, the interaction between amyloid proteins and cell membranes is thought to play a role in several amyloid diseases. Amyloid fibrils of β-microglobulin (βm),

Amyloid and tau in the brain in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease: defining the chicken and the egg [PDF]

, 2014
In the October 2013 issue of Acta Neuropathologica there were three very interesting articles on: Amyloid or tau: the chicken or the egg? In the first article, David Mann and John Hardy argued that the deposition of aggregated amyloid β (Aβ) protein in ...

Beyond Amyloid Fibers: Accumulation, Biological Relevance, and Regulation of Higher-Order Prion Architectures

Viruses, 2022
The formation of amyloid fibers is associated with a diverse range of disease and phenotypic states. These amyloid fibers often assemble into multi-protofibril, high-order architectures in vivo and in vitro.

Ectodomain shedding of the amyloid precursor protein: Cellular control mechanisms and novel modifiers [PDF]

, 2006
Proteolytic cleavage in the ectodomain of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a key regulatory step in the generation of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid-beta (A beta) pepticle and occurs through two different protease activities termed alpha- and beta-
