Molecular mechanisms of fibrillogenesis and the protective role of amyloid P component: Two possible avenues for therapy

Amyloid deposits regress when the supply of fibril precursor proteins is sufficiently reduced, indicating that amyloid fibrils are degradable in vim. Serum amyloid P component (SAP), a universal constituent of amyloid deposits, efficiently protects amyloid fibrils from proteolysis in vitro, and may...
