Constrictions and shear stress are key determinants of amyloidogenic light chain (AL) amyloidosis

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigate how flow constrictions and shear stress trigger cardiac antibody light chain (AL) fibril formation and deposition. We mimic the mechanical forces exerted by the heart and the microvasculature network using a mini‐peristaltic pump setup and a grid‐type microchannel network, respectively.
