Abstract excerpt
Atomic force microscopy was employed to study ex vivo amyloid material isolated from the transplanted hearts of two patients affected by systemic amyloidosis caused by the Leu174Ser apolipoprotein A-I variant. The purified material consists of fibrils and globular aggregates. For both patients the same morphological patterns are observed; in addition, fibril diameters obtained for the two patients turn out to be...
