Copper- and zinc-containing superoxide dismutase, manganese-containing superoxide
dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase form the primary enzymic defense against toxic …

Self-assembly of the human plasma protein transthyretin (TTR) into unbranched insoluble
amyloid fibrils occurs as a result of point mutations that destabilize the molecule, leading to …

An ability of the Epstein-Barr virus latent membrane protein LMP1 to enhance the survival of
infected B cells through upregulation of the bcl-2 oncogene was first suggested by …

Applied weak magnetic fields have been shown to affect cellular activity on several levels,
but the mechanisms involved remain elusive. We have decided to study an early signal …

The EBV-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) suppresses appoptosis in B lymphocytes
through up-regulation of Bcl-2. However, the maximum induction of Bcl-2 by LMP1 takes …

Epitope reactivity of multiple sclerosis (MS) plasma antibodies against the Epstein–Barr virus
protein EBNA-1 and its association with HLA DRB1⁎1501 status was investigated in a case…

Although hereditary transthyretin (h‐ ATTR ) amyloidosis is a monogenetic disease, a large
variation in its phenotype has been observed. The common hypothesis of amyloid fibril …

In diseases like Alzheimer's disease and familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) amyloid
deposits co-localize with areas of neurodegeneration. FAP is associated with mutations of …

Transthyretin (TTR) is a homotetrameric protein that transports thyroxine and retinol.
Tetramer destabilization and misfolding of the released monomers result in TTR aggregation, …

The human plasma protein transthyretin (TTR) may form fibrillar protein deposits that are
associated with both inherited and idiopathic amyloidosis. The present study utilizes solution …
