Macromolecular crowding and supersaturation protect hemodialysis patients from the onset of dialysis-related amyloidosis

Amyloid fibrils of β2-microglobulin (β2m) can cause dialysis-related amyloidosis. Here, the authors show that a decrease in serum albumin levels in long-term dialysis deteriorates the inhibitory effects of serum milieux on supersaturation-limited amyloid formation of β2m, suggesting that macromolecu...
