Abstract excerpt
Aggregated amyloid fibrils can induce further polymerization of precursor proteins in vitro, thus providing a possible basis for propagation or transmission in the pathogenesis of amyloidoses. Previously, we postulated that the transmission of amyloid fibrils induces conformational changes of endogenous amyloid protein in mouse senile amyloidosis (Xing, Y., Nakamura, A., Chiba, T., Kogishi, K., Matsushita, T.,...
