Review: structure of amyloid fibril in diseases by Ghahghaei, Arezou; Faridi, Nasim / Journal of Biomedical Science and Engineering (JBiSE) In recent years our understanding of the nature of spontaneous protein aggregation has increased greatly because of its importance in the pathogenesis of conformational diseases such as amyloidosis, Alzheimer's disease and the spongieform encephalopathies.
