Researchers found that peristaltic pump flow mechanically breaks supersaturation to induce amyloid formation by hen egg white lysozyme, a-synuclein, amyloid b 1-40, and b2-microglobulin.

The photograph shows a model of lysozyme a hanging from the ceiling with its 129 amino acids in an extended conformation. Constructed from components on a scale of 2 cm to the Ångstrom ...

To address this, the researchers ran a model amyloid-forming protein, hen egg white lysozyme, through a peristaltic pump similar to those used for dialysis. They then used fluorescence detection ...

Transgenic hen-egg lysozyme-specific B cells (green) and control, nontransgenic B cells (red) were transferred into syngeneic mice. One day later, the animals were injected with hen-egg lysozyme and ...
