1. 1. Can Feeding Amyloid Fibrils Trigger Amyloid Formation in C. Elegans?

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Katarina Norrby; [2023]
   Keywords : Amyloid; AA amyloid; Amyloidosis; AA amyloidosis; C. Elegans;

   Abstract : Amyloidosis are diseases caused by misfolded proteins that have transformed into extracellular insoluble amyloid fibrils. One type of amyloidosis is AA amyloidosis caused by AA amyloid and diseases connected are Rheumatoid arthritis and Tuberculosis. C. Elegans is a nematode used as a model organism and in this experiment. READ MORE

3. 2. Feasibility of quantitative 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy SPECT/CT for assessing the burden of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Radiofysik

   Author : Sajad Kadhim Khalaf; [2023]
   Keywords : QSPECT; Amyloidosis; ATTR; LVMI; Recovery Coefficient; SUV; Calibration;

   Abstract : Background: Amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) cardiomyopathy is caused by the deposition of misfolded proteins, known as amyloid fibrils, in the myocardium. Quantitative Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (QSPECT) utilizing 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy has the potential to assess ATTR-suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA). READ MORE

4. 3. Diabetes mellitus hos katt : klinisk karakterisering och behandlingsresultat - en retrospektiv studie

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Sophia Panofsky; [2022]

5. 4. Characterization of an unknown amyloid fibril protein

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Elin Persson; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Amyloidosis is a group of diseases where misfolded proteins aggregate in the body. These aggregates are called amyloid and today there are 37 different known amyloid proteins. Diagnosis of amyloidosis is done by Congo Red staining to find amyloid, and typing with immunohistochemistry together with mass spectrometry. READ MORE

6. 5. Understanding the Involvement of Leukocyte Cell-derived Chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) in Amyloidosis

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Lisa-Marie Erlandsson; [2019]
   Keywords : LECT2 amyloidosis; disulfide bonds; metal-binding; protein expression; refolding; purification; fluorimetry; CD; aggregation;

   Abstract : Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) is a zinc-binding multi-functional protein comprising three disulfide bonds, that is involved in multiple disorders of worldwide concern. Recently LECT2 was found to be involved in amyloidosis (ALECT2) and is believed to be the third most common form of systemic amyloidosis. READ MORE
