5. Can Feeding Amyloid Fibrils Trigger Amyloid Formation in C. Elegans?
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : 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.
